Fifteen Favorite Fantasy Reads of 2022
Fifteen Favorite Fantasy Reads of 2022

The following list is my top 15 favorite fantasy reads of 2022. In order to be eligible to make the list, they must be:

  • novel length

  • speculative fiction (fantasy or science fiction generally)

  • Indie/small publisher is a bonus for getting on the list, because I don’t think authors like Terry Pratchett or J.K. Rowling really need any extra help from little old me, but I don’t make it a hard-and-fast rule because

    • 1) we all know how good I am at following my own rules (not good at all) and

    • 2) I like having a little flexibility built in!

Because you are so awesome, I wanted to give you a bit of a better glimpse of what all has been going on behind the page here in the Stormcave, where I’m at on this author adventure, and most importantly, when you will get to read a new Jenelle Leanne Schmidt book.

November, my favorite month of the year!
