Bookstagram’s 102 Best Books of the 21st Century (U.S.)
by @surabhi.reading @ambershelf @openbookopen 

As promised, here’s a post with all 102 of the books you voted as the best books published in the 21st century in the U.S. Titles spill into the comments. Thank you for your voting and your engagement, and stay tuned for more detailed statistics next week!

A few notes on methodology:
* We made a survey inviting bookstagrammers to submit their ballot for the ten best books published in the U.S. in the 21st century. We shared it widely over 4 days.
* We received 324 ballots and a total of 3,156 individual book votes. Not everyone who submitted a ballot submitted ten books.
* We only accepted one ballot from each individual. If a person submitted two different ballots, we only counted the latest submission.
* We used the same rules as the NYT: books published in the U.S. after January 1, 2000. We disqualified books published before that.
* We manually cleaned all submissions to ensure consistency in formatting.
* If someone submitted a series, we counted it as the first book in the series. If the first book was published before January 1, 2000, we disqualified it.
* We disqualified books with errors that made the intended title and author ambiguous.
* We sorted books by total number of votes, then chose to present a top 102 instead of a top 100 to avoid a tiebreaker process.
