Favorites of the decade

How we choose

Observation window: –

Ranked from 808 dated public popularity sources across 19 independent source families (bestseller charts, retailer charts, reader awards and roundups, library borrowing), measured from November 1, 2016 through November 13, 2026. Each source counts in the calendar year at the midpoint of the period it measures. A ranked appearance scores between 1 and 2 by its position and an unranked one scores 1. A work's score adds its best appearance per source family and period, so weekly charts cannot outweigh a family's year-end list. Ties go to the work seen in more families, then to the best single rank, then to title.
