We asked faculty members, library staff, and many others about the best books they read in 2022. This is what they told us. “As 2022 nears an end, we reached out to an array of scholars and experts from across Johns Hopkins University, asking about their favorite books from the past year. From gripping novels to insightful and thought-provoking non-fiction, addressing topics from race to politics to love to identity, their book recommendations offer something for readers of all interests and backgrounds.”
