The 25 Best-Selling Books of 2022

December is here and the time has come to take a look at the best-selling titles of 2022 here on PangoBooks. Through the rest of the month, we’ll also publish year-end recaps on the most-popular authors with our community, as well the most wished-for individual listings.

Surprising approximately no one, Colleen Hoover remains the dominant author on the list, claiming no fewer than four of the top ten slots. Her newest release, It Starts With Us, has also been selling super quickly when used copies hit the app, but since it was only released in October, it hasn’t quite had the time to climb into the top 25 list for the whole year. Hoover (or #coho if you prefer) has benefited from tons of buzz on social media and on #booktok specifically, as have essentially all the books on the list below.

Are there any books on the list that surprise you? How many have you read? Share on social media and tag @pangobooks to let us know your thoughts!

By the way, you can also see the most recent top ten best-selling list on Pango on the front page of our website or app, which is updated bi-weekly.
