The Goodreads editors are again at it once more, quantity crunching and bringing us all of the attention-grabbing consumer information from their 125+ million members. This newest record appears to be like at standard books revealed from 2014-2023, however there’s a little bit of a twist—the record doesn’t have a look at how properly these books did after they had been first revealed. Relatively, it appears to be like at how they’re at present doing.
By taking a look at books revealed the final decade that its members are studying and recommending now, Goodreads will not be solely highlighting books which have been standard the entire time, like Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven, but additionally taking a look at ones whose reputation is simply now taking form.
As an apart, I used to be absolutely ready (and type of anticipating) to see an upward development within the record relating to range, however I didn’t. The shorter record for 2016 incorporates 4 non-white authors out of the eight talked about in comparison with the one talked about in 2023, as an example. Clicking on the subheading for every year does take you to the complete record of books revealed that 12 months which might be standard on the location, however range isn’t improved a lot within the full lists.
In any case, it’s nonetheless all the time attention-grabbing to have a look at what makes it to readers’ TBRs. Beneath is a sampling of the books that made the record, which embrace romantasy, historic fiction, memoirs, and extra.
