Most of you have probably had had enough of lists by this time (think: Christmas shopping!) – but we’re here to talk some more about them in a different light. Books never go wrong, given the right amount of interest and given the right kinds of books, of course. To help you out with the best book titles of the past year (whether you’re still up for some super late Christmas shopping or for any other reason under the holiday sun), we present you with some “best book” lists this cycle:
- The best poetry books of the year are compiled for all lyric and rhyme fans out there by The Independent.
- The Seattle Times gives us their ultimate suggestions for performing arts books and DVDs for the more artsy hearts out there.
- Don’t forget the kids! The Holmdel-Hazlet Patch’s list of the best holiday books for children – whatever the celebration might be – makes it to our list of lists.
- The Chicago Tribune’s list is a definite must when considering buying books. Not only is it put together by their best writers and editors, it also includes titles which are noteworthy (and somehow missed most of the other “best book” lists out there).
