By the numbers

6Must-Read Score
  • Readers6 out of 100 · counts 40%+3
  • Critics0 out of 100 · counts 14%+0
  • Bestseller8 out of 100 · counts 32% (its stronger lane)+3
  • Buzz0 out of 100 · counts 15%+0

Critics and Bestseller are two ways to earn a place: a book's stronger one counts more. Buzz rewards recent bestseller weeks and prizes, so older books start at zero.

On our reserve shelf: it's well reviewed, but isn't currently a prize winner, a lifetime bestseller or a book everyone's talking about, so we don't rank it. We check again every month, and it can still turn up in your 50 once you've read most of our ranked books.
