The NPR Book Concierge is back for 2015, with more than 260 of our favorite books of the year (yes, that’s a lot of books, what can we say, we love books), all searchable by fun stackable tags like Book Club Ideas, Staff Picks, For History Lovers and new this year: Ladies First and Identity & Culture. Whether you need a Christmas gift, a book club selection or just something to while away the winter, we’ve got you covered.

Also, go read Uprooted right now. Seriously, now.
