Denver Public Library's 10 most popular books of 2022

What they're saying: Reading physical books took off last year thanks in large part to BookTok and Bookstagram, the monikers and hashtags for reading accounts and posts on social media, according to library staff.

The most read books last year in the Denver Public Library circulation were:

1. "The Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah

2. "The Last Thing He Told Me" by Laura Dave

3. "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by Anthony Doerr

4. "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles
