The holidays are a wonderful time to gather—safely, there’s still a pandemic going on—with friends and family and reflect on the year that was. They’re also a time when some of us (you know, the “indoor kids”) might also be seeking refuge from all that quality time. In those moments, it’s always nice to hide out with a good book. Luckily, quite a few sensational titles have dropped over the past few months, and more are on the way. From pop culture histories to time-traveling immortals, here are some of our favorites. Happy holidays, and happy reading to all.
