For our December book preview, we went in a more choose-your-own-adventure direction than a fully holiday-focused list. You’ll find a few cozy winter-set and family-themed books here, but there’s also plenty of other good stuff if that’s not your jam: historical fiction about Scottish serial killers, queer dystopian road-trip narratives, and stories about women who definitely want to kill some people but didn’t actually kill the person whose murder they’re being framed for. Whatever your holiday vibe, we’re not here to judge.
