One of the books we recommended is called Butler to the World. It's by Oliver Bullow and it was suggested by Matthew Valencia, an 1843 editor at The Economist. And what about business and finance? That's always a big topic here. Are there any books our journalists recommend to readers this year? Well John, that's a pretty crowded category as you'd expect. But I think that best of them is probably Butler to the world by OliverBullow who's an investigative journalist based in London.
It is that best-of time of year. We outline the case for our country of the year, after an uncharacteristically easy nomination process. Our correspondents explain their picks for the
best books of 2022. And the shortlist of the year’s
best games: there are cats, Norse gods and trombones. For full access to print, digital and audio editions of
