Join us as we travel back in time through 2022 with the authors that hit the road this year.
2022 saw a return to some semblance of normalcy, which included our authors hitting the road once again. Throughout the year, some of our fabulous Penguin Random House authors travelled the country going on book tours, making visits to bookstores and hosting signings and events.
In case you couldn’t keep up with the action, we’ve gathered up a few highlight photos to show all the hard work our authors put in to promote their books in 2022.
