Champagne

This is it. The final hurrah for 2021! Yes, we’re ending in the phase of Omicron rising, but many of our titles were selected for a number of best-of lists and holiday gift guides for the year. So many! Let’s raise a glass to our authors to congratulate them!

And guess what? Our holiday sale is in full swing! The best-of books below and everything else on our website are 30% off through December 31 with code HOL30. If you’re still on the hunt for holiday gifts, you know where to scroll.

By the way, we will be closed Monday, December 20, 2021, through Friday, December 31, 2021. We will be back in the office on Monday, January 3, 2022.

As you place orders during this time, remember that USPS media mail takes 7 to 10 business days. Also, the Penguin Random House warehouse will be closed from December 23 to December 25 and then on December 31. So plan accordingly as you place your orders.

Here’s to a new plague-free year we desperately need and more best-of books to come!
