Booksology Appearance is important
In a year dominated by cutesy illustrations and splayed edges, stop trying to cause a “splash,” monsters, but the amazing, bizarre, and abstract cover design deserves special praise. Introducing the best book covers of 2024, selected by professional book designers.
What did you cook?
Cookbooks make great gifts. In my humble opinion, the kitchen is one of the few environments where print is better than digital. Reading recipes on the tiny screen of your phone or tapping on a tablet with flour-dusted fingers is a nightmare. Not to mention, you won’t be able to easily take notes or enjoy the charm of spilled ingredients in electronic recipes. For all the home cooks on your holiday shopping list, treat yourself to the best cookbooks of 2024. Don’t fall asleep reading What Goes with What by Julia Turshen.
In the latest episode of the Book Riot Podcast, Jeff O’Neil and I discuss the NYT’s list of 100 notable books of 2024 (and rant about what “notable” means), the Goodreads Choice Awards winners, and more. Analyze your year-end work. Literary news.
