Book lists: December 16, 2024

Most, but not all, of these lists are best-of-the-year roundups ...

• Ayesha Rascoe and Book Riot's Kendra Winchester talk about some of the best audiobooks of the year (NPR).

• An art director for the New York Times Book Review picks his favorite book covers of 2024 (The New York Times).

• Here's a best-of list that only contains books that were published in years not 2024 (Literary Hub).

• The Black List has shared the sixty-one novels that professional editors and agents most want to see adapted for film or television (Book Riot).
