Best of 2022: Books

See this content in the original post

As the wise queens of Paris Is Burning and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” have taught us, Reading is Fundamental. In our hectic, 24/7 21st century lives, carving out time to enjoy a good book can be difficult – but so rewarding when one really hits the spot. So for this year’s Best Of episodes, the Great Pop Culture Debate has decided to add another topic to the mix, as our panelists share their thoughts on what we think are the Best Books of 2022! New novels, and graphic novels, by N. K. Jemisin, Jessamine Chan, Neil Gaiman, Tom Taylor, Andrew Wheeler, Tara Sim, Steven Salvatore, Casey McQuiston, and more!

Host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback, Jennifer Chen, and Michael Schwarz discuss their individual Top 3 picks for the best books of 2022. No debate, just a pop culture show-and-tell. Did your favorite books make the list?
