Holiday shopping can be arduous sometimes: we want to gift something useful or with special meaning, not just a bauble that\u2019ll end up gathering dust in the corner. We may be biased, but we at Read Quebec believe that the best gifts are books. Whether you read to learn something new and widen your horizons, or simply to be entertained, there\u2019s a book for everyone out there. That\u2019s why books are always a sure thing when considering your gifting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been following Read Quebec, as well as our older sister publication Montreal Review of Books<\/em><\/a>, you\u2019re aware of the multitude of amazing English-language books that are published in Quebec every year. We reached out to authors, critics, booksellers, and influencers to find out what was their favourite local book of the year, and why. With their choices, we built this holiday local book gift guide: amazing new and recent Quebec books (plus one bonus vintage title) to gift to your closed ones, or to discover for yourself during the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
