From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Foyles Books of the Year)

The Foyles Books of the Year have been announced annually since 2017 by the British bookseller chain Foyles. From 2017 to 2023 they recognised outstanding literature in three categories: Fiction, Non-fiction, and Children's. A fiction award was conferred in 2016, before the other two categories were added. In 2024 the award changed to a combined one for all genres.[1]

When announcing the 2023 choices, Foyles said that they chose "our favourite, most interesting, most important, most year-defining titles published, recommended and sold this year".[2]
