Back in 12/2021, I compiled a list of my favorite reads for 2021. It was in response to the great Doug “Blue Skunk” Johnson’s list of reads. As 12/30/22 approaches, I’m tempted to put together a list of many of my favorite reads for 2022.
This isn’t as easy as you might think. I am an avid reader and consumer of books in digital print format and audio. So, I’ll have to give you a list of my top 10 for each.
Audible Audiobook Titles
- He Who Fights with Monsters, Books 1-8. This is a fantastic, hilariously funny audio series, and I highly recommend Shirtaloon’s (author) books. The narrator has the perfect Australian accent.
- Marshal Arcane by Terry Mancour. I love Terry Mancour’s Spellmonger series, narrated by John Lee, and you will, too, if you enjoy fantastic humor, fantasy, and science-fiction. I find myself laughing aloud through the books, even when the Spellmonger and his able team is facing impossible odds.
- Fairy Tale by Stephen King. This is a wonderful story guaranteed to hook you. It’s a LONG story, so you won’t regret the purchase.
- The First Compact-The Karus Saga by Marc Alan Edelheit. If you haven’t listened or read Edelheit’s work, you’re missing out, especially if you are into the idea of “lost” Roman legions transported to different worlds by meddling wizards who end up in an enchanted sword as punishment. All of his Stiger series is fantastic, and I highly recommend it. Obviously, these include a series of books, and these are just recent entries in the long series. I encourage you to get all the titles.
- Ruins of the Earth series by Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney with narration by R.C. Bray. This series is similar to Craig Alanson’s Expeditionary Force (another fantastic series) in that a clever Artificial Intelligence (AI) takes a hand. The six books in the series are just an opportunity for hilarious mayhem with profound, world-altering implications.
- Flux by Jeremy Robinson. Step into a Jeremy Robinson tale, and you’ll be hearing about nephilim and gods in no time. This is one book that involves time travel and is fascinating enough premise that even when you can guess how things might turn out (well, you think you can), you’re still hooked on what might happen.
- Tribe by Jeremy Robinson. Uncovers the history of some powerful beings from humble beginnings.
- Island 731 by Jeremy Robinson. Another engaging story a la Island of Dr. Moreau, but with a fascinating twist.
- Torment by Jeremy Robinson. Another engaging story. These stories are action-packed. They are supposed to be listened to (or read) in a certain order, so be sure to check that out before starting.
- Primal Hunter by Zogarth. While some critics have characterized this series as that featuring a “murder hobo,” I have enjoyed the adventures of the main LitRPG character. Since I have purchased several in the series of books, I must include it in my top ten list.
Obviously, there’s a lot more than 10 books listed above. But it’s a start.
Digital/Print Books
- Jonathan Moeller’s DragonSkull series and Cloak Mage series are fantastic. I recommend them all.
- Seth Ring’s Battle Mage Farmer series
- Seth Ring’s Nova Terra: Titan series (lots of books). I couldn’t read these fast enough.
- S.M. Anderson’s Season of Man series (3 books). Great post-apocalyptic tale.
- Rick Partlow’s Drop Trooper series (10 books). Fascinating universe out there.
- Michael Chatfield’s The Ten Realms series (lots of books).
- The Scientific Principles of Reading Instruction by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
- Teaching with Video Games by Zachary Hartzman
- Writing in the Middle School Classroom by Scott Phillips
- Christians against Christianity
- Powerful Teaching

Hi Miguel,Interesting list of titles. Thanks for reminding me that I needed to get my list written as well. http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/blue-skunk-blog/2022/12/25/best-books-2022.htmlDoes your local public library system offer a service like Libby that allows you to check out ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines? I use Libby for 90% of the stuff I consume and it has saved me a fortune. Thanks again,Doug
