From new voices like NoViolet Bulawayo to rediscovered old voices like James Salter, from Dave Eggers's satire to David Thomson's history of film, writers, Observer critics and others pick their favourite reads of 2013. And they tell us what they hope to find under the tree …
Curtis Sittenfeld
Novelist
My favourite books of 2013 are Drama High (Riverhead) by Michael Sokolove, Sea Creatures (Turnaround) by Susanna Daniel, and & Sons (Harper Collins) by David Gilbert. Drama High is incredibly smart, moving non-fiction about an American drama teacher who for four decades coaxed sophisticated and nuanced theatrical performances out of teenage students who weren't privileged or otherwise remarkable and in so doing, changed their conceptions of what they could do with their lives. Sea Creatures is a gripping, beautifully written novel about the mother of a selectively mute three-year-old boy; when she takes a job ferrying supplies to a hermit off the coast of Florida,...

The editor of British Vogue picks her cultural highlights of the moment, from Kathryn Bigelow to Juergen Teller
The editor of British Vogue since 1992, Alexandra Shulman originally pursued a career in the music industry before following in her parents' footsteps as a journalist, working for Tatler, the Sunday Telegraph and GQ. With Shulman at the helm, Vogue courted controversy by publishing photographs of a young, extremely slim Kate Moss, but Shulman also championed positive changes in the fashion industry by writing an open letter to designers in 2009 arguing for larger sample sizes. Her 2012 debut novel, Can We Still Be Friends, has just been published as a Penguin paperback.

I saw Kathryn Bigelow's film last week and thought it was a wonderful example of how to create suspense, even though everybody knows the outcome. It's very well edited, particularly the storming of the terrorists' compound.

London, Jan ary 14: Praising your children can damage their confidence, according to a leading psychoanalyst.
Stephen Grosz claims that comments such as "you're so clever' or 'you're such an artist' could also hinder their future performance at school, the Daily Mail reported.
He says that such 'empty praise' causes children to be unhappy as they come under pressure to live up to the false expectations.
Instead, he advises parents and teachers to bestow compliments less frequently and use phrases that congratulate children for "trying really hard". (Ani)...
