Best-of-2023 lists from NPR and BookRiot

If you're gearing up to shop for someone else or yourself, book journalists are ready to help.

BookRiot contributors shared their favorite covers of 2023 and noted that Harper's BAZAAR has put out a list of its top reads this year.

NPR, meanwhile, shared the 381 books that its staff and trusted critics liked best this year.

Don't panic over the list's length, though; you can winnow the collection by genre or themes.
