My Favorite Reads of 2022

Following my list of 2021, here are the books I read throughout the year which resonated with me the most. All their narratives are quite different and unique. But they all are a testament to the talent of storytelling, and being able to humanize behaviors, complexities of the human nature, and do so with a mix of humor and drama.

Hope this gives some ideas on what to read next (artwork illustrated below belongs to their authors and publishers).
