The New York Times Book Review has released its picks of the 100 Notable Books of the year,  making Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See (S&S/Scribner) the top fiction title in terms of number of picks to date (see he NYT BR‘s original review). The only holdouts are the Booker committee and Publishers Weekly.

But more interesting can be the outliers. The NYT BR is the only one so far to also recognize the book the Amazon’s editors picked as the #1 title of the year, Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You (Penguin Press — see the original NYT BR review)

Fifteen of the fiction picks have not show up on any other lists to date. Click here to see those titles, along with links to their original reviews: NYT BR Best Books, Fiction, Unique Picks.

Both Kirkus and the Washington Post have also released their lists, so we have updated our spreadsheet:

2014-Best-Books-Adult-Fiction-V-4

By the end of the week, we will update the nonfiction spreadsheet as well.
