Editor’s Note

Wrapping it up

EVERY YEAR in late October, Q&Q editors attempt the near impossible: distilling a longlist of our favourite books of the year into a handful of picks. It’s a nerve-racking task, made especially more difficult this year given the number of strong titles that have crossed our desks. We’re grateful to the Q&Q reviewers, booksellers, authors, and the other experts who alleviated our stress by contributing their own favourites. Check out the full selection of 2018 Books of the Year starting on page 12.
