Ready to reflect on your 2022 reading year? Earlier this month, we shared the best books the NetGalley team read this year and our most-anticipated reads of 2023. Now we want to look at the buzziest books, audiobooks, and covers on NetGalley this year.
In 2022, members submitted over 1.1 million Reviews and Opinions for their approved books and audiobooks—that’s a lot of reading! Let’s take a peek at some of your favorites. The books below were the most popular on NetGalley this past year based on total member activity (including approved requests, widget invites, Read Now access, and auto-approved access). This includes both 2022 releases and upcoming 2023 books which were active on NetGalley during 2022. Click on the covers to learn more about each book and submit your review if you’ve read it!
