This Shelf Subscription features newly released titles chosen by Shop Dad and Annie's real dad, Chris Butterworth.

He appreciates thoughtful fiction and nonfiction, often about history, sports, nature, and religion. His favorite reads of the last year include: The Curse of Pietro Houdini, The Bullet Swallower, A Short Walk Through a Wide World, and Demon of Unrest. (If you’ve got a picky male reader in your life, this option might be your best bet!)
