Best Books 2022: Best Content From the Genre Experts and Finding "Niche" Best Options

This post is part of my year end "Attack of the Best Lists" coverage. To see every post in my "Best Books 2022" series you can use the best lists tag 

Today I wanted to focus on the best lists from the eyes of the genre experts-- not Horror because I have a whole blog for that already.

But first, a general reminder that the easiest way to find niche "Best" lists is to use the Largehearted Boy Online list of all of the best lists. But, here are a few links to get you "best books" from trusted genre resources more quickly:

Remember, I have my personal list of my most trusted and FREE genre specific resources always avaiable here. Access is easy through my 10 Rules of Basic RA Service page (at the bottom). I went to this list to see what these expert sites pushed out as Best of 2022. 

And if you have a very specific reader, don't ever count out a targeted Google search. Type in their favorite  micro genre or tastes with "best books." For example, here is the search for "Best Apocalyptic Books 2022." 

Also here is a list a colleague sent me: Comedy Women in Print Prize Longlist. Literally the best witty women in print. 

Take away: you don't need to be afraid to get super specific. Trust me, you will find something and your patron will be impressed.
