Each year we learn about new books to consider as gifts this holiday season—or for your own reading list. Which books have earned national attention, what are some lesser-known gems, and which classics are worth revisiting? Get recommendations for novels, non-fiction, poetry, young adult and children’s books, and great reads by local authors.
