We asked 35 expert readers for their favourite picks, ranging from novelists to anthropologists, scientists to criminologists – and experts in politics, publishing and philosophy. The only rule? The book had to be published this year."
And the Books & Ideas team are sharing our own best books of 2025.
Three books were nominted twice" "I Want Everything," "Goliath's Curse," and "Mother Mary Comes to Me."
