What have you read this year that deserves to be on a list of the best books of 2013? We'd like to draw up a top 10 of your best books of the year. Tell us what should be up there - and which titles didn't live up to their billing.

Was the anticipation of another Bridget Jones novel more exciting than reading it? It may have won our Not the Booker prize, but does Kate Atkinson's Life After Life hold its own against Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch or Morrissey's Autobiography? Terry Eagleton thought Morrissey might one day win the Man Booker prize, but don't let that sway you - tell us what you think.

To help jog your memory, here are links to some of our roundups of the biggest books published this year:

The best fiction
The best science fiction
The best crime and thrillers
The best political books
The best food books
The best drink books
The best paperbacks
The best children's books
The best nature books
• The best stocking fillers

... and many more, as well as celebrity picks and graphic novels, psychology, history and more from the Observer.

Join the comment thread to discuss the books of 2013, and I'll put together a list of the most popular titles. Guardian Review will be publishing a special feature on readers' books of the year, in the paper on December 28.
