Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy did her best books of the decade post which I thought was great so I’ve created my own. It was lots of fun to look back at the last 10 years and remember books I’ve loved. I’ve kept a spreadsheet of the books I’ve read every year since 2004 so I went back through my spreadsheets and picked out these books. I didn’t give all of them an A, but these are the ones that have stuck with me.
I’ve listed anywhere from three to six favorite books a year. These books span a number of genres and some are books published that year and some are books published years and years ago. I don’t review all the books I read so if I have a review for the book on my blog I will show a link after the book covers. (I started my blog during 2013 so there are no reviews before that.)

Have you read any of these books? How did you like them? Are any of them favorites of yours?
Love your list, Jan! I see some very familiar books on here. And thank you for the shout out, I’m sad we have to wait another decade to make another list, lol.🤣

It’s so cool that you’ve been keeping spreadsheets for so long. Mine only go back to 2014. Some of your favorite books are my favorites too.

So many great books! Agatha Christie, Deborah Crombie, and Nora Roberts and Jenny Colgan are always favorites and I see several more titles I need to try.
