It's the most wonderful time of the year for book lovers, when the end-of-the-year lists start emerging, and we can start noting down exactly which tomes we'll want to be reading come 2015. That is, of course, if you haven't already covered off the books you wanted to read this year.

The beauty of "best of" lists coming right around the holidays is that they give friends and family the opportunity to buy you some new reading material that will hopefully be in line with your interests, or perhaps even help you discover a whole new genre.

We've pulled together the top 40 books from Amazon.ca and Indigo's lists, but if you want to get really specific, there's no better online resource than blog Largehearted Boy's annual amassing of every genre imaginable.

Check out the top 40 books from Canada's biggest booksellers, and please, let us know what books you loved in 2014.
