December is when the world celebrates and prepares for the New Year. It’s a time for looking into the future and to review the past. Each year experts in every field study the year that has been and list of what was best, what went unnoticed and what was really bad.

Since centuries thousands of books are published each year. A few books receive accolades others are enjoyed and lie forgotten on dusty shelves and yet others go unnoticed. Publishers weekly reviews more than 6000 books both print and online in various categories like fiction, poetry, non fiction, comics, religion, lifestyle, and children’s books.
