Winter Book Round up with Manda - Best of the Fiction, non-fiction - and podcasts - to share this season Accidental Gods

 What are the best, most readable, most inspiring and most give-able books this season?  Manda's solstice list of her favourite Fiction and non-Fiction books read in 2021. Plus a bonus handful of must-listen podcasts. 
Here we go, people of the podcast - the books and their links. I've linked through Blackwells, because I used to love Heffers (part of the same chain) when I was in Cambridge.  Do obviously feel free to support your local bookshop.
