"Believe it or not, we're halfway through 2021! As is our tradition, this is the time when the Goodreads editorial team burrows into our data to see which books published in the U.S. during the first six months of the year have been most popular, highly anticipated, and highly rated among our collective 125 million members.
Below you'll find Goodreads' members most popular new books, divided into fiction vs. nonfiction. For anyone who's curious, we measure popularity by how often a book is added to readers' Want to Read shelves. Note that we eliminated any book that fell below a 3.5 star–average rating from your fellow readers (at the time this article was written, of course)."
