Published Dec. 3, 2024 Updated Dec. 5, 2024
At the Book Review, the team spends the entire year preparing for this moment. The process of selecting the annual best-of list begins in the spring, with heated debates over their favorite picks. By the fall, they were gearing up for intense discussions.
The goal is to highlight books that have left a lasting impact: stories that have resonated deeply and examinations of lives that have broadened their understanding of what they thought they already knew.
These books are explored in a special edition of the Book Review podcast, with three selections analysed in a concise video. For more recommendations, readers can explore the full list of 100 Notable Books of 2024 or browse through a collection of every book named the best since 2000.
