What was the best book published in the 2010s?

December 16, 2019 by Nathan Bransford

Somehow the decade is almost over and lots of people are looking back. LitHub recently published a whole compendium of book best-ofs for the 2010s, including best novel.

While I read so many great books throughout the 2010s (A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Station Eleven, Dirty Wings, The Sky is Everywhere, The Hate U Give to name but a few), I wonder if the novel that we’ll remember later for best encapsulating this tremendously weird and unsettling decade is Gone Girl.

What’s your choice for book of the decade?

    The Book with No Pictures by BJ Novak. Absolutely brilliant and groundbreaking picture book. I have never seen anything like it in my career.

      A picture book is a book with no pictures! Sounds intriguing. I’ll check it out. Thanks.
