Pro Book Nerd’s Best Reads of 2022

Emma, Joe, and Jill discuss the best books they read this year! Join for a lively conversation about the books the nerds loved the most. We loved these books so much that Joe refers to “before” and “after” this book, Jill loves a title so much she’d marry it if she could, and Emma owns five print copies (soon to be seven) of one of these titles. Let us know what books YOU loved this much by sending us an email or a comment on social media.
