Best books of 2019: One short list and one long one

Black Friday fans are probably long gone (and back home in bed, even).

But if the shopping coverage has you thinking about picking a new book or two — for yourself or someone else — we have a long and short best-of-2019 list for you.

Louise Penny, author of the popular Chief Inspector Gamache novels, shared her four favorites with Amazon Book Review, and the New York Times rounded up one hundred notable books from 2019.

(And, of course, feel free to browse our bargain-book “library” and free-ebook widget, both of which are updated daily!)
