Bookstagram's 102 Best Books of the 21st Century (U.S.) - Page 2

Organized and compiled by @surabhi.reading, @openbookopen, & @ambershelf.
A few notes on methodology:
* We made a survey inviting bookstagrammers to submit their ballot for the ten best books published in the U.S. in the 21st century. We shared it widely over 4 days.
* We received 324 ballots and a total of 3,156 individual book votes. Not everyone who submitted a ballot submitted ten books.
* We only accepted one ballot from each individual. If a person submitted two different ballots, we only counted the latest submission.
* We used the same rules as the NYT: books published in the U.S. after January 1, 2000. We disqualified books published before that.
* If someone submitted a series, we counted it as the first book in the series. If the first book was published before January 1, 2000, we disqualified it.
* We sorted books by total number of votes, then chose to present a top 102 instead of a top 100 to avoid a tiebreaker process.
