This post is part of my year end "Attack of the Best Lists" coverage. To see every post in my "Attack of the Best Lists 2024" coverage [and more backlist best of the year options] you can click here.
In the December 2024 issue of Booklist and online, the editors have spoken:
We the editors have chosen what we feel are the most extraordinary 2024 books for adults reviewed in Booklist this year with an eye to literary artistry, ardent research, abundant imagination, and resonant content, as well as diversity of voices, subjects, and genres. These titles offer pleasure and reckonings, revelations and reminders, surprises and transcendence. Nonfiction, poetry, and fiction alike tell gripping stories and seek truth. We hope that these works by writers renowned and new will prove to be exciting recommendations for readers seeking transportive reading experiences that will leave them laughing, crying, marveling, and feeling informed, engaged, and inspired.
This is a comprehensive list of books in fiction, nonfiction, and genre choices. These titles are sure bets for all library collections, and they come with an annotation to make hand selling each to its best reader a breeze.
Finally, on the top right of this year's list there is a link to pull up all Editor's Choice lists in reverse chronological order-- but you have to be logged in.
Check your collections, make some displays, and get these books in people's hands. And remember, backlist options are a great suggestion as well.
