With all of the books that come out each year, who has time to read all of them?
That’s why NPR arts correspondent, Lynn Neary is here.
She joins Here & Now’s Robin Young to share some of her favorites from this year.
From historical fiction set during the time of the Chechen Wars to a contemporary fishing village in Haiti, this year’s picks span the globe.
