I have to say that choosing only ten books out of the 95 I read in 2022 was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. There are so many more I wanted to showcase, but had to narrow them down based on the way they made me feel. So, here goes!

There had to be a Plus to the list, and this book takes that spot.
That’s it! I hope you found something you have to explore for yourself. Each of these books is outstanding! Here’s to another amazing year of reading in 2023!

I’m not surprised by most of the books on your top ten list because I read them too and enjoyed them. I need to check out the others. Have a wonderful writing and reading year in 2023!
Thanks, Priscilla! I hope you have a wonderful year writing and reading as well!
You’ve got a great list, Jan. I have enjoyed some of these!
Thanks for visiting, Dan!
What a great post to come back from vacation to, Jan! Thank you for including A Voice in the Silence in such a great list of books. What a huge honor. The ones I’ve read I completely agree, amazing stories and poetry. There are some I need to check out too. Xo
It was my pleasure to include “A Voice In The Silence.” That story lingered with me long after I had finished reading it. I’m glad you found some new books to check out. 🙂 There’s always room for one more in the TBR pile! Here’s to another great year of reading ahead!
I recognize some of those books! Thanks so much for including The Necromancer’s Daughter among all these stellar reads. And your presentation/graphics are beautiful. I’m impressed. I see some of my favorite authors in the line up and second your recommendations. Also a few new ones to try out! You had a big year of reading and I wish you much enjoyment in 2023. 🙂
My pleasure, Diana! I loved The Necromancer’s Daughter! Glad you can add your recommendation to some of these and that you see some of your favorite authors. Thank you for visiting! Here’s to more entertainment in 2023!!
Great list, Jan. I’ve read a bunch of these and heartily agree–they are more than worth the time!
Thank you for adding your recommendation, Jacqui! I appreciate you taking the time to visit!
Great choices, Jan. Thanks for sharing.

What a great list, Jan. I am so honored to see Chatham Hollow included among all these wonderful reads. I have devoured five of them myself.
It’s always fun to look back over books read in the previous year. So many good memories of characters and stories, and so many enjoyable hours of reading.
Congratulation to all the authors featured here!
I had to include Chatham Hollow on this list. Such a good story! How wonderful that you’ve read five of these! It is fun to look back over the year and all the hours of entertainment books have provided. Here’s to another year ahead full of fun reading! Thanks for visiting!
Thanks, Mae, and congratulations! ??
You too, Harmony!
Wow! Jan, well done on this beautiful presentation of your top 10 books plus 1. It is never easy narrowing them down to just a few and I like your criteria of how they made you feel – a great idea. Your brief engaging summaries of them are superb and lots of new books I want to check out this year. Happy Reading in 2023!
Yay! I’m so glad you found some books that intrigue you, Annika. They are all so good! You are right in that it’s not easy narrowing them down and all I could go with was how they made me feel. Thank you for visiting!
Fabulous list, Jan. I’m honored to be part of it. Thank you.
I read about half of the titles you listed and really enjoyed all of them. (I became a huge fan of Zanetti in 2022.)
So did I, Staci. She is now a go-to author for me, as is Colleen Hoover. Thanks for stopping by!
Fabulous group of authors and books, Jan! And I see a couple I need to add to my huge reading list. Happy New Year! 🙂
Lol, Mary. I swear my TBR will topple over. Just when I think I’m making some headway, I add more. Ah, the life of a reader. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you so much for liking Hope’s Angel. I’m very honored to have it listed among these very amazing books! I don’t know how you narrowed your list down. There were so many good ones. I feel blessed. Love you, Sister.
You are most welcome, sister. Your story stands on its own merit and that’s why it is on my list. It touched me deeply. Love you!
Congratulations to all the authors of these wonderful books! Many of these are on my tbr and some I’ve read and loved.
Wonderful, Kymber! Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment!
Thanks, Kymber! ??
I can’t imagine trying to narrow my list down to a top ten, but several of these would make it. I also have Denise’s book waiting for me. So many good ones, Jan!
I loved Denise’s book and think it might be her best so far, but it’s hard to say as I loved all the angel stories. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Teri!
Thank you, Jan xo
Hope you enjoy it Teri!
Thanks so much for sharing your top ten books, Jan. some fantastic reads here, and congratulations to all the authors. I’m thrilled to see Sorrowful Soul here too! Happy New Year ??
Sorrowful Soul is a beautiful book, Harmony. It touched me on a deep level. Thank you for visiting!

Like others have said, this is a great list. I’ve read some, have others on my TBR and the rest I need to check up on.
Yay! Thanks for visiting, Trish, and I’m happy you found some new stories to check out!

Thanks, Karen! Happy New Year ??

That’s quite a roster and I’m thrilled to see my title on it. So glad you enjoyed the story.
I loved the witch aspect of The Good Liniment, Craig. It was such a good book! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m proud and honored to be in this group of fine books. Thanks for the recognition!
Thanks for writing such a good story, Brenda!
A great list, Jan. I’ve read several of these books and agree with you. It’s hard to pick favorites.
It is so hard, Joan. All I could go by was the way a book lingered with me after I closed it. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for the list, Jan!
My pleasure, Grant!
I agree, Jan. It’s difficult to narrow our reads down to the top ten favorites. Your list is fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year! xo
My pleasure, Jill. Thank you for visiting!
