Anticipated Books of January 2022

It’s almost the end of the year, crazy!  I’ve already brought you my overall most anticipated books of 2022, but now I will return to my regularly scheduled programming of each month bringing you my most anticipated reads of the following month  - so I can include even more books!

Usually my anticipated reads are a mix of books that I have ARCs of and those that I have to wait until publication, but this month I’m lucky enough that I have Netgalley ARCs of all of them.  However, I made a decision to save all of my 2022 books until 2022 to try to catch up a little on my backlist, so I haven’t read any yet!  The books are listed below in order of US publication date.

Anticipated Books of 2022

I have always been someone who enjoys looking at what books are coming out and planning what to read almost as much as I love reading, so for the past several years since I started this blog, I always like to bring you a list of my most anticipated books of the next year.  (And I’m happy to report that I managed to read every single book on my Anticipated Books of 2021 list.)  

This past year, I have taken a different approach and also brought you monthly posts about my most anticipated books of the following month.  I will definitely continue doing that next year.  But there are just so many books I’m super-excited about coming out in 2022 that I thought I’d still give you a preview of some of the top books I’m looking forward to. It was so hard to narrow it down that these are all books by authors who I’ve already read and loved, though there are definitely some great sounding debuts coming next year too!  To narrow it down, I also only included a book if it had a set release date and a cover, which eliminated some potential books allegedly coming towards the end of the year. There are literally dozens of more books I’m already looking forward to besides those listed here, just another reason I’ll also continue my monthly posts about anticipated books.

But in the meantime, here are the 2022 releases that I’m most looking forward to, so you can go ahead and request from Netgalley/get on the library waitlist/pre-order them if they interest you too!  I am lucky enough to have ARCs of a few of these, but since I decided to hold all my 2022 advanced copies of books until 2022 to get through some of my backlog, I haven’t read any yet!

Here they are, listed in order of currently scheduled US publication date, which is listed in parentheses after the title and author of each book.
