Oof, I've only read/listened to 3 of these NYT books. One of which was Klara and the Sun, and it really is VERY VERY GOOD

12! But just added a slew to my library wait list!

So you're saying I shouldn't tell you about how I loved and hated and was annoyed by but plowed through Klara and the Sun and that it haunted me for months after I read it? K. Noted.

My iteration of that sentiment: My Year Abroad. It's on every list but I COULD. NOT. GET. THROUGH. IT. I regularly say awake too late because I can't put a book down. This book I couldn't stay awake for more than a few pages at any time of day or night. Points for insomnia curing, I guess.

I feel like The Plot is another one that's on all the lists. I liked it. It took some getting into and the twist was foreseeable from a little too early, but it was one of those that I ended up staying up way too late to finish.

TWELVE is the record so far, Shayna! excellent work. (I am ignoring your comment about K&tS only because I respect you so much.

Same about The Plot! Was it predictable? Yes! Was it still a page-turner? Also yes!
