Next! A book that did a slow and steady burn all year long, our Non-Fiction Book of the Year by Nathan Thrall, proving once again that good journalism plays a critical role in helping us understand the unthinkable.

Audiobooks count as reading. They also make a great gift. @librofm.bsky.social support indies, so we support them and so should you. libro.fm/gift?booksho... to get gift credit bundles.

Here's an idea, how about 12 books for Christmas, your choice of Fiction, Non-fiction, or Children's, individually wrapped and presented in a beautiful box, for 12% off the total?
Gift them to 12 people or maybe just 1 bookworm. Order before the 18th Dec - book wrapping elves will be busy!

We have options for adults, kiddos and teens. Or if you'd like to get individual books, why not get them from our bookshop.org site? uk.bookshop.org/shop/maxmine...
They give us a great percentage AND it supports all other indies at the same time.

It's so lovely to see old friends on here. A request/plea: Consider buying from indie bookshops for Christmas. It's been a shit year tbh and we all need help. If you have friends and family in the UK, why not try a book subscription!
