About this list
NY Times, 100 Books
The Best Books of 2024 by NY Times. The Top 10 are all ranked #1, the rest are unranked.
who voted:
Trade sources differ: a C-SPAN–based 2015 blog post tallied roughly 16 New York Times Book Review staffers, while a 2023 Publishers Weekly profile said the desk now has “more than 20 editors, critics and reporters” To keep our rankings conservative, we therefore credit each NYT list to 10 voters.
