 By the Book: Our Favourite Reads of 2021/What We're Excited About in 2022

We're kicking off the year by looking back at some of our favourite books and long reads of the year that was (2021), and looking ahead to some of our most anticipated publications of the year to be (2022). And then in Footnotes, we discuss our reading resolutions - what we'd like to continue, what we'd like to be better at, and perhaps some habits we're planning to kick to the curb.
