Eight Beloved Books From Each of the Past 10 Years as Listed on Goodreads

Here at Goodreads World Headquarters, we spend a lot of time sorting books into stacks. It's fun, if a little hard on the back. The key is to lift with your legs. Anyway, we occasionally stumble upon a particularly interesting sorting technique.

Such is the case with today's collection, which features a sampling of the most beloved books from the past decade, arranged by publication year. We say "sampling" because it's not a straight listing of the year's most popular books. Instead, it's a representative collection of the books that your fellow readers are currently reading (or perhaps rereading) and recommending.

As such, this collection folds in sleepers and slow-burn hits—titles that didn't necessarily blow up on initial publication but have since gained traction through BookTok, word of mouth, back-catalog explorations, etc. What they all have in common is that they are clearly beloved by readers.
