It's the FIFTH annual Best Books of the Year episode with my real life book club friends Yasmin Dunn and Stephanie Newman-Smith. 

This is one of my very favorite conversations every single December and I do not apologize that it is super sized!

Yasmin, Stephanie, and I share 3-4 of our favorite books of 2022 across all genres. 

As usual, there are some suprises, some curveballs, and LOTS of opinions.
