Today's collection takes a tricky chronological approach to the challenge. The books below represent the most popular contemporary and historical fiction of the past decade, according to the Goodreads community at large. It's a curated list based on average reader ratings and shelvings—the books that end up most often on members' Read, Currently Reading, and Want to Read shelves.
From there, we have sorted the books by publication year. In other words, these are the past decade's most popular books according to Goodreads regulars as of now, with each book sorted into the year in which it hit shelves. It's an interesting way to see which books continue to resonate with your fellow readers, and when they came out.
