Most Popular Books Published in the 21st Century (So Far)

Top books rated and added to shelves by Goodreads users published 2001 - 2023 (100 books per year).
Since this list is based on popularity it will eventually change over time and some books could move up or out. I see this especially being the case as books are being made into movies and shows for streaming services. But for now, it's fun to see what readers are enjoying.
