Literary Hub's 100 Books That Defined the Decade (2010s) - Page 2

"This is a list of books that, whether bad or good, were in one way or another defining for the last decade in American culture.....This is a list for general readers and followers of literary culture; it includes both major bestsellers and literary standouts, books that have become pop culture phenomenons, and books whose influence has been quieter and/or localized in literary circles." (Emily Temple, Lithub)
The books are arranged in ascending order by year of publication (refer to the source article for actual years).
