I’m hoping my life in 2022 doesn’t have too many roadblocks (COVID-19 aside) and I am able to get back on track with my reading, my writing, and my gaming. This list contains numerous books that are scheduled to be released in 2022. Yes, my reading list is longer than the time available to read them, but do you blame me for being ambitious?
These are some of the many speculative fiction books I hope to read in 2022! These dates are based on what publishers have announced and are subject to change.

This list goes alongside all of the other books I have yet to read, including the books I did NOT get to read which were released in 2021, and the rest of the books in my TBR pile. It’s come to the point where I cannot complain that I have nothing to read. We are all very lucky to experience an era where we can choose which books from this umbrella genre we get to read instead of choosing from a mere handful.
Which books coming out in 2022 are you excited for?
Great list! Discord of the Gods is going to be CRAZY. And I can’t wait for The Oleander Sword!
So many of these are on my list too. It’s going to be a great year for SFF books😁
So many of these are on my list as well but have added a few more now.great list
I’m also really looking forward to so many of these. Great list, it’s lovely to see all these future releases lined up together like this – although it does make me incredibly greedy to have them all (when I can’t possibly read them ALL). Le sigh.
Lynn 😀
Whooooo, what a list! Wildseed Witch, Babel, When Women Were Dragons, and The Book Eaters are also on my TBR – and Seasonal Fears is perhaps my most anticipated read of 2022. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you, too!
Man that’s a lot of hot books on this list! I want to read so many of these! 2022 is going to be awesome 😀
I have some of these on my TBR already, but as usual you’ve forced me to add more books to my TBR!
That’s what we do!
