Locus 2022 Reading List

Locus magazine. the newsmagazine of the science fiction and fantasy field, has published its 2022 Recommended Reading List.

We are so pleased to share this list of excellent fiction! Published in Locus magazine’s February 2023 issue, the list is assembled by Locus editors, columnists, outside reviewers, and other professionals and well-known critics of genre fiction and non-fiction. We looked at 982 titles from 2022 in short fiction and long fiction. The final recommendations, trimmed down to a somewhat reasonable-length list, are our best recommendations for your consideration. We know there will be titles you loved that do not appear here; it happens every year. Any one of our recommending group would have put together a different exact list, but this is the combined sum of opinions, assessed with great affection and care for the field. There were a lot of great books this year; we could’ve recommended twice as many.

There are a lot of books and short fiction to look at here. Out of the 30 or so novels in the science fiction novels category there are half a dozen that I've either bought already or plan on buying. Note that many of the short fiction entries, especially those originally published online, are linked and can be read online.
