It's always nice to see a snapshot of what's drawing lots of readers in. The only one I've read here is The Handmaid's Tale. Right now, I'm reading an arc of One Night Gone by Tara Laskowski.
Most books listed here are on my TBR list, with the exception of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, which are on my 'Read' list. Just today started to read The Rosie Project after having completed A Gentleman in Moscow. Will most definitely start Normal People next! Happy Reading!!
I'm currently reading Little Fires Everywhere and I'm really enjoying it.
Great selection. Out of the 20 books I have read 8.Out of the 8 books, 5 of them, I have rated as 5.0 stars
The other three are from 3.5 - 4.0
I've read 8 of the 20 books listed, some recently, some when they first came out. I just finished reading The Flight Portfolio by Julie Orringer. I highly recommend it.
Just finished The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Compelling, horrifying and yet uplifting at the same time. Wonderful book.
I've read 6 of these and another two are on my tbr - Nine Perfect Strangers and The Handmaid's Tale.
I'm reading Before We Were Yours. It isn't the type of book I usually read but a friend lent it to me. It is very good so far.

I've read 2 of these, with 10 on my TBR pile. Makes a change for me and these lists.
Sipho wrote: "Notes from Underground Something ancient that (supposedly) matches my temperament."I just read in another novel that Dostoevsky wrote this as a response to What Is to Be Done?, a book which apparently annoyed the bejesus out of Fyodor but inspired several generations of romantic revolutionaries, including, famously, Lenin.
It's been years since I read it, but I remember loving it--what do you think of it?
I've read 12 of the 20! Today I finished The Silent Patient.
I am going to be starting Normal People when i get home this evening. Just finished More than Anything.
Read 12 of them and one of them is on my want to read shelf. Gave all but two of them 4 or 5 stars. One of them got a sorry 1 star.

I'm currently reading A Certain Chemistry and am loving both the realistic approach to it as well as the comedic and entertaining aspect of the book.
I just finished Miracle Creek which is a well-written mystery, though it might not be mysterious enough for those who fancy that genre, ie, I'm a greenhorn and I figured it out pretty quickly.I am now tackling Solovyov and Larionov which is more of a chore, although when it is good, it is really, really good.
I've read five of the twenty and enjoyed them especially the Crawdads and Educated although was disappointed with Normal People after all the hype! Six others on my to read list but definitely not Harry or the Handmaid's Tale. Currently reading 2018 memoir on a friend's recommendation: Southern Discomfort by Tena Clark. It's excellent!
Just finished Strangers and Cousins, currently reading Red Sparrow
Currently reading the Tattooist Auschwitz and re-reading Where the Crawdad's Sing.
a Few Days Ago, I Finished
:D
This Book is EPIC. It Has Wintery Vibes- and It Gave Me Frozen/ The Snow Queen Vibes. Along with The Grisha Trilogy Vibes

Currently reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (and preparing to read the Great Alone soon) 🖤📖
Conviction by Denise Mina . Love her writing
Heh, I'm actually reading Circe right now. Guess I'm just one of many, huh? It's really good so far.
I'd be surprised if Good Omens wasn't on the list! The show was such a hit for both series fans and book fans.
This is list of great books...am new here... hopefully I could read more books than I ever did
Naomi wrote: "I'm currently reading Little Fires Everywhere and I'm really enjoying it."Now I’m curious which you rated what.
Jason wrote: "This is list of great books...am new here... hopefully I could read more books than I ever did"Goodreads is a good place to set reading goals because the peer pressure actually works here. I went from about 20 books a year to 150 books last year. Just take it easy and I'm sure you will find the time and motivation to read a lot. Good luck!
I've read 8 out of the top 20. Never heard of 8 of them, including the top 2. Currently reading Circe which I highly recommend.
Just finished The Huntress and Wow-couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
Lilac Girls by Martha Hall KellyA must read! I couldn't put it down.
I am currently enthralled with “The British are Coming” by Atkinson.
Behind close doors really good, ending is unexpected
Currently reading Gold Fame Citrus and Good Night, Oregon. In 2 separate book clubs, not an over achiever! Read Educated, Little Fires Everywhere and Eleanor Oliphant previously and really liked all 3.
Would it be possible to create this list by genre?
Just Read Silence of the Girls a we'll written account of the Trojan War from the women's point of view. Very different from the heroic stories in the Iliad
Finished lost roses..what we were promised. The clockmakers daughter..Now. The mother in law
KM - No Stone Unturned by new author Nadean Stone. A memoir of her life; a tumultous one filled with pain and loss, and an over 40 year search to find who her parents were, her true identity and answers to what ended up being lies due to cover ups by the Catholic Church, and provincial government of Ontario, Canada. I usually read mysteries/thrillers and this nonfiction book has it all. The sad part is it's true and makes you wonder of all the injustices done by churches and governments to tear apart families, and leaving people lost for answers.
