Here’s an overview of all the books that have won a literary award in 2022. Let’s find out which are the best award-winning books of 2022.
As 2022 finishes and we start stepping in 2022, almost all the major Literary Awards around the world have been assigned.
Receiving a literary award is a prestigious recognition for all those who relentlessly work in the literary industry. As I mentioned in my Guide to the Most Prestigious Literary Awards, they also allow us, readers, to find the best next title to add to our to-be-read list or to suggest as a next book club pick.
