The Guardian publishes an annual rundown of the best books of the year. This list captures some of those, chiefly adult fiction (including thrillers, mysteries, sci-fi, romance, and graphic novels) and adult non-fiction (including memoir, biography, science, nature, history, and politics). Additionally, The Guardian publishes the "best of" lists for books in some categories not included here, including poetry, children's and YA books, sports, music, and food/cooking.
