Check it out: Regina Public Library shares list of popular titles from 2022

Dog Man had quite a run at the Regina Public Library in 2022.

The children’s graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey held down all 10 spots on the list of the most-borrowed children’s titles from the library last year.

Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing was the most-borrowed fiction title in 2022, finishing ahead of Kristin Hannah’s The Four Winds and Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us.

The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave, The Judge’s List by John Grisham, Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and Five Little Indians by Saskatchewan author Michelle Good also were popular fiction titles.

Jody Wilson-Raybould’s memoir Indian in the Cabinet topped the list of non-fiction titles. Crossroads (the autobiography written by former Humboldt Broncos star Kaleb Dahlgren about the Broncos tragedy) and Call Me Indian (by Fred Sasakamoose, a residential school survivor and the first Indigenous NHL player) also were popular non-fiction titles.

Other books on the non-fiction list included Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown, From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and Only in Saskatchewan by Naomi Hansen.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton was No. 1 on the RPL list of popular young adult titles, edging out two Suzanne Collins offerings — The Hunger Games and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes — and Adam Silvera’s They Both Die at the End.

The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley, The Giver by Lois Lowry, and One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus also were popular books among young adults.
