Lithub's Ultimate Best Books of 2020

From lithub:
Yet again, I have scoured the internet to find out which books were recommended most on the "best of the year" lists, consulting 2020 roundups published by various sources. I read a total 41 lists, which recommended a whopping 952 different books. But a few were mentioned repeatedly, and you will find those ranked below, by order of frequency of inclusion. Does this mean these books are The Best? Only as much as any popularity contest ever does, I suppose.
