The 30 Most Popular Debut Novels of 2022 (So Far)
Discovering a favorite new author is one of the genuine thrills of maintaining a serious reading habit. It’s interesting to reflect that all authors were newbies once. At some point in the distant past, early adopters were raving about this obscure British writer, Agatha Something….
We’ve gathered below the 30 most popular debut novels of the year, though June, tracking across all genres (except young adult). It’s a pretty eclectic mix! Food and romance in 1960s California. Supernatural suspense in Mexico. An art heist at Harvard. Science fiction cautionary tales. Chinese moon goddesses. Violinists in trouble. Caribbean cakes.
Scroll over the covers to learn more about each book, and be sure to add the books that pique your interest to your Want to Read shelf!

Woman of Light is not a debut but I’m still excited to read it!

Oh, thanks!
How was this list tabulated?I expected to see Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. His debut novel has, ATM, an average rating of 4.51 stars with 8,277 ratings & 1,936 reviews which is a higher rating & better reviews than a lot of the other books on this list.

I read The Hacienda in 5 hours yesterday, it's a masterpiece! A must read if you're a fan of gothic.

I'm sure they wanted to add it, then realized it was written by a man and the 2 spots were already filled.
Loved Fiona and Jane and have my eye on The Hacienda. Notes on an Execution is another notable debut this year. In terms of what's upcoming, I have read Advance Copies of Groupies and This Vicious Grace and recommend both.

I'm so glad you mentioned this book, it sounded exactly like something is enjoy reading! Thanks to your comment I picked up a copy and can't put it down ❤️

This made me laugh. Oh so true.
