Every year, around Christmas time, the Guardian publishes a book of its best articles of the year – the Bedside Guardian.

It’s a mix of domestic, foreign, light, serious, news-oriented and feature pieces that spans from October 2016 to October 2017. This year I’m editing it and the selection process wouldn’t be complete without finding out what you, the readers, think are the best pieces of the year and why.

Let us know your favourite Guardian pieces and why you remember them in the form below – if you can include a link to the piece, know who the author was or just what section it was in if you were reading in print, all the better – and we will try to include as many of your suggestions as possible.
