Top 20s are truly hard to quantify. I've read such an array of nonfiction, contemporary fiction, and assorted literature. Some of these books were new releases for 2022, others have been on the TBR for a while. Some of these books immersed me in new worlds, while others shed light on the world in which we live with the people I may not have known much about. Some of these books were "right up my alley" while others took me by surprise by stepping outside of my comfort zone. All in all, I strongly recommend these books and I hope you can find something you enjoy here. As always, reach out if you want to talk about any of them :)
