Happy Tuesday y’all! This week Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl has decided the TTT topic should be the books we recommend the most. I am the first to admit that I don’t recommend books a lot outside of the ones I talk about here. So instead, I’ve decided to twist the topic a bit. This week I’m sharing books I’ve read with more than 200,000 ratings, according to Goodreads.
A few weeks ago I highlighted books I’ve read that have under 1000 ratings, you can check that out here. The books on this list are ones that I’ve read since I started blogging in 2021. All of the books are fiction, are not recent publications, and are ones that I have given at least a 3.5-star rating. I may have written a review for the book, but not necessarily.
All titles link to Goodreads.
Now let’s look at ten of my recent reads with more than 200, 000 ratings!

I loved The Flatshare. I was surprised and pleased to see my daughter has just started reading The 100 Year Old Man. I hope she enjoys it too!
Over 200k ratings? Wow, that’s a tall tall order. I’ve only read Death on the Nile from here and watched the movie for Gone with the Wind.
I’m surprised at how many ratings a few of these have. I’ve read The Flatshare and really enjoyed it.
The Hate U Give was a good read!

So many good books on here! I really loved Anxious People!
Wow, The Midnight Library has more ratings than Gone With the Wind? I would not have expected that!

Gone With The Wind- used to love watching the movie. Haven’t read the book. Death on the Nile too.
I’ve read six of these and I have to agree, I’ve enjoyed them all a lot!
Great recommendations.

I’ve read 5 of these–GWTQ more than 25 times! I used to read it annually.
Your blog is so much fun to read each week.
The Midnight Library, The Hate U Give, and Book Lovers are three that I have recently read, too. Loved them all.
I’ve read half of these and really liked most of them. THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY was rather meh for me. I still need to read THUG. That one’s been on my TBR list since it came out. One of these days!
Happy TTT!

Honestly I know 800k is still a lot of ratings, but I’m surprised THUG doesn’t have more than that given how huge it became! The only one of these I’ve read is The Midnight Library and I liked it but didn’t love it, I think my expectations were maybe slightly too high.

WOW! When I saw your title I was like probably none of the books I have read…but I have read three on you list. Only one in that last year or so. Great topic!!
Great list! I’ve read “Where’d You Go Bernadette?” and “The Hate U Give.” Hoping to read “The Midnight Library” soon.
I really liked Anxious People. Backman has such a unique way of looking at things.
I’ve only read THUG and The Flatshare and loved both. I do have a few others from your list on my TBR and I hope I get to them one day soon. 😃 Great twist to the topic!
Love this take on the TTT! I adored The Flat Share and Book Lovers.
