Another year is almost over as we reach the end of 2022. It’s been a mixed year for literature, we’ve had some great new releases, but it’s been an especially bad year for censorship especially among young adults who rely on public libraries and school libraries.

Today we’re marking the new releases of the year with our book of the year, and the ten ten books of the year, according to your votes! We asked a couple of weeks ago over on our Facebook page for you to tell us what your favourite new release this year has been and we had many replies. This week I have collated those replies to create the For Reading Addicts Book of the Year 2022.
