"52 Award-Winning Titles Every Book Lover Should Read" by the American Library Association is a one-year journal combined with a recommended reading list from the ALA.

I was interested in this journal and list as a tool to broaden my reading experience in 2022. The introduction describes this as an "...experience of the creme de la creme of books published in recent years."

From various genres, a title is introduced weekly with a brief synopsis from the ALA, along with a specific question to get your reading juices flowing and generate your thoughts as you read. Each book is labeled with one of the following awards and year it was received:
* Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction and Non-fiction.
* The Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in YA Literature.
* The John Newberry Medal for Children's Literature.

Also included are blank pages with each title for taking notes as you read, a log to list your all-time favorite books and a reading log for everything else you're reading.

Although I probably won't read every title listed, it has generated my interest in a couple of books:
* Moonglow by Michael Chabon
* The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates
* The Round House by Louise Erdrich
* Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly
* We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
* The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

This is a great tool for you to use or to gift to a book loving friend! I highly recommend and wish you happy reading in 2022!

Thank you to Sourcebooks Early Reads and the American Library Association for a finished copy of this book. It has been an honor to give my honest and voluntary review. This is now available.

52 Award-Winning Titles offers a number of excellent suggestions. Although many authors may be known there are quite a few who are not as prominent. Special attention was given to representing a diverse selection of authors and titles. A welcome addition is a writing prompt offered with each title that draws from some aspect of the book. It should be noted that a few of titles, descriptions, and write-ups are duplicated in 52 Diverse Titles, also offered by ALA. I would choose the book you are most drawn to. Enthusiastically recommended.

If you are a book lover you need these books in your life, not only they contain great book recommendations, each tittle comes with room to add notes.
I was glad to know that I had some already on my TBR, some already read and loved and I added a big number of them to my never ending list.

Thank you Sourcebooks and American Library Association for these gifted copies.

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss.
For people who have trouble picking what to read or want suggestions, this is the perfect journal. There is a wide selection of books, and they are interesting. Another plus is that this has prompts about each book mentioned which works for people who like the format of a book club but don't have access to one or don't want to deal with the people.
