Looking to buy a book for someone who loves reading? Risky business, it’s true, but perhaps if you pick a book published recently, you’ll improve your odds that they haven’t read it yet? Or maybe you just want to buy yourself a present… Either way, channel your inner Father Christmas. Here are 16 books that were published this year which I’ve read and enjoyed.
