If you can, just cancel everything you’re doing in 2018 so you can spend the entire year reading, because trust me when I say 2018 is full of literary gems.

First things first, Stylist releasing its very own fiercely feminist book, Life Lessons from Remarkable Women: Tales of Triumph, Failure and Learning to Love Yourself. Featuring essays from 25 of the brightest and best women, including actress Romola Garai, award-winning journalist Christina Lamb OBE and beauty entrepreneur Bobbi Brown, Life Lessons will hit bookshelves in March, just in time for International Women’s Day.

But what else should we be adding to our reading lists? Well, while picking just 20 titles is an almost impossible task, the books here cover all kinds of fiction and non-fiction, and they’re all a guaranteed good read.

There’s something for everyone - the first adult novels by YA writers Louise O’Neill and Holly Bourne, powerful life stories by Tara Westover and Afua Hirsch, epic adventures by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi and Kate Mosse, plus many more besides.

Happy reading!
