Publishers Weekly koos de 10 beste boeken van het jaar, romans en non-fictie door elkaar. Hieronder de titels, wie meer wil weten klikt hier. Er zijn ook lijsten voor prentenboeken, jeugdboeken en young adult, klik hier. Bij de jeugdboeken vinden we Mishka van Anoush Elman en Edward van de Vendel (vertaald door Nancy Forest-Flier met illustraties van Annet Schaap):

Elman and van de Vendel’s sensitively written story, informed by personal history, gently illuminates the disorienting effects of one refugee child’s experience leaving Afghanistan for the Netherlands. Simple, affecting narration features distinctive and sympathetically rendered characters whose individual arcs organically converge into a moving novel that’s complemented by Schaap’s warmly childlike full-color artwork.
