The Foyles Books of the Year have been announced annually since 2017 by the British bookseller chain Foyles.
From 2017 to 2023 they recognised outstanding literature in three categories: Fiction, Non-fiction, and Children's.
A fiction award was conferred in 2016, before the other two categories were added.
In 2024 the award changed to a combined one for all genres.
[1] When announcing the 2023 choices, Foyles said that they chose "our favourite, most interesting, most important, most year-defining titles published, recommended and sold this year".
