Another exceptional novel that I read this year, and which I've seen nary a mention of around the normal spots despite it being longlisted for the NBA, is Kevin Moffett's ONLY SON.
The best book I read this year was Let the Boys Play by Nicholas John Turner and I believe the same is almost certainly true for everyone who read Let the Boys Play this year. Except also maybe best was Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane. Also State Champ by Hilary Plum. There are others, too.

I was sent this photo from Alaska along with the note, "It is literally the only book I’ve ever seen in our winter time skate spot."
Consider this a holiday gift reminder, I suppose, and also a reminder to send notes.

I knew Adam as a student before he founded @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social and became one of the city's most committed literary citizens. His first book, on Margaret C. Anderson, continues that work, and I'm frankly thrilled to read it. Strikes me as a hell of a gift, too:
