Earlier this month, I did a post on my favorite albums of the 2010s. Now I’m giving you a list of my favorite books of the 2010s. As I’m usually a year behind in my reading, the only year not represented is this past year of 2019.

By The Numbers

I read most of them in print or ebook with maybe a couple in audio in Bossypants and Yes Please and another that definitely was in audio in The Poet X. Out of the 20, I believe there are two must-reads: Being Mortal and Between The World and Me. The one I enjoyed the most was probably Born To Run, but that might only because it’s fresh in my read from reading this year and also that I went to a local state park several times while reading it. So I also enjoyed the experience of it.

What are some of your favorite books of the last decade?
