Time to Vote: What Is the Best Sci-Fi Book of 2022 (so far)?

“Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose.” – Neil Gaiman

With so many books being released every day, it can be hard to know which ones are worth your time! Especially  if—like many of us—you already have a TBR list that will outlive you. In these moments, your community of fellow readers has your back! Last week we asked the Discover Sci-Fi community to nominate the books they thought were the very best of 2022 (so far!) and dozens of great titles were added to the poll. 

Now, it's time to decide.

We narrowed down the list of your nominations to the sixteen most voted for, and now it's time to figure out how they rank! This week you only get one vote, so make it count! 

*As alway this list is made up by combining votes from this blog and our Facebook group.
