Last year, we posted a list of the best books of the year as voted by our well-read team.

We're back in 2016 with a new list that looks at our top picks from the past 12 months. Did your favourite 2016 book make it onto the list?

It's the most wonderful time of the year for books, but the massive number of new books on our shelves can be overwhelming! We asked some of our well-read team members which book is sitting at the top of their must-have list, and we've compiled their answers to give you some shelf help. 

The 2016 Prime Minister's Literary Awards are being announced later today and we spoke to three of the shortlisted authors about their writing habits. 

To help ease you into the Christmas spirit, we launched our stunning first Christmas catalogue last week and it’s full of gift recommendations for even the trickiest person on your To Buy For list.
