The Goodreads Staff Shares the Top Books We Read This Year

"Each year, as we wrap up our annual Goodreads Reading Challenge, we like to poll the well-read staffers here at World Headquarters and ask a simple question: What were the three best books you read this year?

The books don't necessarily have to be published in the past year, although they often are. And it's always interesting to see the sheer range of responses: from big blockbusters to hidden gems, from old classics to new innovations."
