Author: Patrick Varone
Last Major Update: April 21, 2022

As if we couldn’t love Oprah any more than we already do, she’s given us so many truly amazing books that have changed lives, gave us hope, and were just downright guilty pleasures.  Oprah revealed her new book for the month and we’re making sure you don’t miss a beat by providing a complete list of all the best books she’s recommended!

Oprah first started her official Book Club way back in 1996 and, boy, did she ever get us all reading!  A little known fact is that right before she started her official list, she recommended Maryanne Williamson’s “A Return to Love” first.  Total game changer.

Since then, Oprah has recommended more than 100 books, many of which were almost complete unknowns and turned around to be all-time best-sellers for the year.  These days more and more celebs are making recommendations like Jenna Bush’s Monthly Book Club and even Reese Witherspoon’s Book Picks.  While we love both of them, the one thing we know for sure is that you can never go wrong when Oprah makes a recommendation.

Our personal favorite of all time was “The Underground Railroad: A Novel” by Colson Whitehead.  It’s gripping, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and painfully forces us to face and understand more of our country’s history.  Check that one out here!

(Almost) each month Oprah lists out another pick and since her show is no longer on the air (we miss it so much) sometimes a book or two slips through the cracks.  We’ll be updating this article with her new book choice each and every time she adds one so you never miss out.  Plus we’ll provide you a list of some of her best-sellers that go all the way back to when she started back in ’96.  If those books are on sale, you’ll see the price reflected next to each choice.  Let’s kick things off!

The Complete 2022 List (So Far)

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you.  There are some months missing, but that’s only because a new book wasn’t chosen for that given month.  Don’t worry, there are still plenty of great ones to choose from!
