Goodreads: The Top 40 Hit Books of the Year (So Far) (2020)

We're halfway through the year that time forgot! Ahem...I mean, 2020. Believe it or not, it's June.
Traditionally, this is when the Goodreads editorial team burrows deep 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 105 million members.
Below you'll find those books ranked according to popularity on the site. 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, natch). Then, just for fun, we divvied this list up into the two rather large and varied categories of fiction vs. nonfiction.
As always, be sure to add the books that pique your interest to your Want to Read shelf. And happy reading!
