2022’s print bestsellers

Publishers Weekly has released the top-selling print books of 2022.

The big story was Colleen Hoover's continued dominance; she took the top three spots, four of the top five, six of the top ten, and eight of the twenty-five.

The only other author to appear twice was Emily Henry, though she didn't break the top ten with either title.

PW's other trend of note was the continued move toward escapism in literature, in an age of pandemics and political division.

Here are the top ten; the magazine compiled stats on the twenty-five biggest sellers, which you can see on its website.
