2022 Reader's Choice Awards

Our 2022 Reader's Choice Awards nominees and winners were announced in the March issue of Still Moments Magazine.
If you haven't checked out our free magazine issues yet, here's a recap.

2022 Reader's Choice Awards

How do we choose the nominees and winners?
Books read and reviewed by Still Moments Magazine in 2022, which received a 4, 4.5, or 5 star review, are evaluated from the comments and extra notes written for each book review. The magazine’s publisher then selects the top five reviews from the book categories/genres, which is the most difficult task to complete due to so many books deserving of making the list. Once the nominees are selected for each category, a winner is selected.

Before we announce our nominees and winners, we want to thank everyone who submitted a book review to Still Moments Magazine. Unfortunately, with so many book reviews requested each year, we are unable to read every book submitted, but please know your book remains in the magazine’s reading queue.

Without further delay, let’s tear open the envelopes and read the nominees in the 2022 Still Moments Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards!
