Has anyone noticed that books seem to be getting shorter and shorter these days?

 

We don’t have any empirical evidence to back this up, but it sure feels that way—and we sort through a lot of books here at 카지노싸이트. Maybe it’s the price of paper, or more efficient page design, or smaller fonts. Possibly it’s our online-addled brains—a cultural concession to the 21st-century attention span.

 

In any case, we’ve taken the opportunity to implement yet another sorting strategy to our never-ending digital bookshelves. In the collection below, we’ve organized a selection of relatively recent books according to page count, across all genres, in both fiction and nonfiction. Sometimes you want a shorter book, for entirely practical or mood-related reasons.

 

As a bonus, we’ve included a category at the end for particularly long books, with page counts of 500 and up. Sometimes you want a longer book, for scheduling or doorstop reasons. Plus, sorting like this leads to interesting juxtapositions. Where else are you going to find liberated sexbots next to deep-sea survival dramas? Celestial fantasy next to student loan heist thrillers? Oregon earthquakes next to Victorian psychos?

There are a lot of ways to sort and select books when you’re lining up your next reading project. You can go with a favorite author or a trusted microgenre, a personal recommendation or a book club selection, or even surpassingly cool cover art illustrations.

 

But for real quality control, you want to stick with the winners. That’s the idea behind today’s collection, in which we’ve selected recent winners from across a variety of major book awards. A few quick notes: For this particular collection, we’re concentrating on novels rather than nonfiction or short story collections. And we’ve included general literary awards—the Booker Prize, the Pulitzer—along with several genre-specific prizes such as the Hugo (science fiction), the Edgar (mysteries), and the Bram Stoker Award (horror).

 

Click around below and you’ll note that several recent books have collected multiple awards, including Percival Everett’s James, Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments, Hernan Diaz’s Trust, and Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys. You’ll also find several authors whose books have broken out into the worldwide cultural conversation: Kazuo Ishiguro, Olga Tokarczuk, R.F. Kuang, and Richard Powers. Plus the occasional soap opera–loving cyborg.

 

Click on the award name headline for more information about each category prize, and on the cover art images for more details about each specific book. You can also use the Want to Read button to add any interesting leads to your digital bookshelf.

Today’s collection is pretty straightforward, but it does require some clarification up top. These aren’t cult books, as in “books that have developed a dedicated following.” These are books about actual cults, cult-like phenomena, and basically all things cultish. 

 

Books and stories about cults are always in circulation to some extent. We’re clearly fascinated by them as a culture. (Cult-ure?) Still, the cult book is having a particular moment of late, it seems, across multiple genres.

 

Below you’ll find books on cults both real and fictional. Most of the titles have been published within the past five years or so, but we’ve added in some older classics, too. On the fiction side, you’ll find plenty of horror and thriller titles, plus some wild card picks including historical fantasy and dystopian satire. In the nonfiction section, look for several harrowing memoirs and sociological research into the very concept of cults themselves.

For devoted fans of the mystery novel, the popularity of the genre can be a double-edged sword. There are certainly plenty of books to choose from when looking for a new mystery or thriller. But the sheer volume of titles released each year can be overwhelming.



 

One reliable way to generate good leads is to check out what your fellow 카지노싸이트 members have been reading.



This collection is just that, a virtual shelf of the 75 most popular mystery and thriller books published in the past three years, according to 카지노싸이트 regulars’ Read, Currently Reading, and Want to Read shelves. As an added bonus, all of these books have at least a 3.5-average star rating from your fellow readers. 

 

Authorwise, you’ll find plenty of books from the usual suspects in this collection: Lucy Foley, Freida McFadden, Stacy Willingham, Riley Sager.



If you’ve got a particular subgenre in mind, watch for specialists like Ruth Ware (old-school whodunnits), S.A. Cosby (Southern noir), or Jessie Q. Sutanto (cozy mysteries). Click around carefully and you might even find a universally beloved country music legend.

 

Bonus pick: Kristen Perrin’s How to Solve Your Own Murder. You’ll only need it once, but you’ll be glad you have it handy.

Find Your Next Read with These 84 Books...]]> /blog/show/2970-megahit-reader-genre-gem-seeker-find-your-next-read-with-these-84-book





Most habitual book readers have a favorite genre or two. It’s natural. The brain wants what the brain wants. But it’s also true that most readers have a lingering curiosity about those other genres that rarely cross their bookshelf.

 

Today’s collection is designed to help out with this particular situation. Maybe you’re a sci-fi reader who wants to finally dip a toe into romance. Or maybe you’re a historical fiction fan who's also read a bit of horror—Stephen King, probably—and you want to dig even deeper into the genre.

 

We’ve assembled below seven curated collections of recent genre-specific books, each broken into two categories. Megahits are the new books that you’ve probably heard about in the general cultural conversation—the ones in the display cases and all over TikTok. Each individual title listed here has more than 100,000 ratings on 카지노싸이트. These books are recommended for readers totally new to the genre, who want to get a sense of that particular bookstore aisle.

 

On the other hand, Genre Gems are books highly rated and recommended by avid readers within the genre. Some are relatively new and just gaining momentum, some a bit older but criminally underread, Each selection here has a 4-star rating or higher on 카지노싸이트 (at the time this article is published). These books are recommended for readers who are ready to venture off the beaten path, following the guidance of those who have previously braved the wilds.

 

As always, you can click on the book cover art for more details about each book. You can also use the Want to Read button to keep track of things by adding titles to your digital shelf. Good luck and godspeed, brave genre explorer.

Adam Fites reads, writes, and makes his home in Seattle. He works in the library of a public school in nearby Kent, where he was the 2023–2024 Paraeducator of the Year. When he’s not at school, you can find him in his kitchen or at his neighborhood café.



For summer break, we asked him to suggest some great books to keep kids and teens reading all season long. 



It’s summer, which means instead of helping our librarian match kids with the right book at the elementary school where I work, I’m sleeping in, wearing linen, and maybe picking up a couple shifts at the neighborhood café. Mostly for the staff discount. I may even have rediscovered that I exist outside of caring for children.

 

Which, whether it’s June or August, you get. Your kiddos are at home. All the time. Don’t worry, us educators will return to share the work sometime around Labor Day. In the meantime, though, you’re going to want to keep those kids reading, so I’m back with another list of over 70 of the best books for kids that I’ve read, recommended, repaired, and replaced this year.

 

A few ideas on how to navigate it all:



1. Look for evocative artwork. I don’t (only) mean covers. Whether it’s spare, busy, or multilayered, choose illustrations that seem worth exploring and considering. Your kid’s eyes might alight on something unexpected. There’s your book.



2. Remember the power of serial stories. If you want your child to really dig in, consider manga, an early reader series, or even a beloved novel with a new sequel. You’ll find examples of each below.



3. Prioritize a few books that appeal to both of you. Not only will you read together more often, but you’ll talk about what you’ve read, which is, you should know, one of the best parts of my job.



OK. You’re ready. Happy summer. Happy reading!






Books for early readers (ages 0-4)

This year, we began to welcome our preschool students into the library. It’s the best decision we’ve made in a while, not least because I get to recommend old favorites like Brown Bear… or Nanette’s Baguette, along with gorgeous new work from Aram Kim or Alice B. McGinty and David Roberts.






[book: 35396839|fourAcrossImage--audiobook]














 



Books for primary grades (ages 5-8)

Our elementary readers don’t always have the stamina for longer picture books or graphic novels, but what they do have is the capacity for depth. Here, you’ll see a couple texts that will challenge your first or second grader, but mostly you’ll find books worth ruminating over and revisiting. Dig into Big. Get cozy with some Tea Dragons. Ask your child what all those pages of Rules of Summer or Sidewalk Flowers evoke.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

Books for middle grades (ages 9-11)

There are a few picture books and easier graphic novels here, but the real summer projects are long-running mangas, epic adventure series, and gripping early novels. If you’re looking for something to read together, try The Vanquishers.

 



 


 


 


 


 


 

Books for young(er) YA (ages 12-14)

Young adult books are taking off in our fifth-grade classes, and not just because they deal frankly with topics like identity, romance, and horror. All those aesthetic muscles you’ve been encouraging are ready for big books about big things. If you want to keep your tween reading this summer, take a look at these, read a few reviews, and set them loose. Also read Creepy Cat because it’s just that cute.

Here at 카지노싸이트 World Headquarters, we sort through a lot of books each month. Our monthly Readers' Most Anticipated Books feature is exactly that—selections based on the data about the books that 카지노싸이트 members are placing on their Want to Read shelves. Essentially, these are the books that your fellow 카지노싸이트 regulars are excited about.

 

Of course, the 카지노싸이트 editorial staff gets excited about books, too. And we regularly come across specific new releases that we can’t wait to read—or “won’t shut up about,” to borrow a phrase from the colleagues who sit right next to us.

 

As to be expected, there are always way more great books each month than we have time to read, so we're passing our findings along to you, complete with genre tags, our unhinged commentary, and general enthusiasm. Think of this list as our intel on the books you might not be hearing about absolutely everywhere else, from two people who really, really want to help you find a great read.

 

Some of the intriguing books on tap for July: a vengeful Hollywood ghost, a deadly Southern road trip, and a very cold case in Victorian London. Bonus pick: a tumor named Maggie.

 












Cybil can't wait to read this book because: When our narrator discovers her husband is cheating on her with a woman named Maggie, and then that same scorned narrator is diagnosed with cancer, it makes a certain amount of sense that she'd also name her tumor Maggie. Right? This surprising debut is being compared to the works of such masters as Nora Ephron and Jenny Offill. 



Genre: Contemporary fiction














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: The very witty author of Super Sad True Love Story and Our Country Friends is back to enchant us with Vera, or Faith. Here, an astute 10-year-old girl chronicles the rapid unraveling of her family. 



Genre: Contemporary fiction 














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Sarah MacLean is writing contemporary fiction! This is not a drill! As a longtime fan of her sexy, smart historical romances, I'm more than prepared to follow along for this tale of a family in crisis. In the wake of their father's death, the Storm siblings must reckon with their terrible patriarch's final manipulation—an inheritance game on the family's island estate.



Genre: Contemporary fiction














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: Park's last novel, Same Bed Different Dreams, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a literary hit. Luckily for us readers, he's back this month with a buzzy new short story collection. One story looks at a man questioning his life as he tries to remember his passwords (relatable); another has a director and a faded movie star record the commentary track on an '80s movie that neither of them seems to remember much about (less relatable, but fun!). 



Genre: Short stories














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Theater critic Alex Lyons is notorious for his harsh one-star reviews, and when the curtain comes up in this book, he's just had a one-night stand with the lead actress who's the subject of his latest scathing takedown. But don't worry, she's got a trick or two up her own sleeve to take down this Shitty Media Man.



Genre: Contemporary fiction














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: Ah yes, envy, it can make people insane. In this debut novel, a woman's happy life in Beijing is thrown into question when an old friend returns from her seemingly perfect existence in California. 



Genre: Contemporary fiction 














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: It's 1899 in the English country and Grace has learned to navigate life at her uncle's estate by becoming an expert in forgery. But will her knack for finding the fake help her determine whether the stranger claiming to be her lost-at-sea cousin is the real deal, or a trickster? 



Genre: Historical fiction 














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: I like to joke that Cybil conjured up Daniel Kraus' previous book Whalefall (man gets swallowed by whale) because it had a premise seemingly purpose-built for her. Well, now it's my turn! During the Great War, five soldiers venture into No Man's Land to rescue a wounded comrade but find a fallen angel instead. This is VERY up my alley!



Genre: Historical fiction/Fantasy














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: "May you live in interesting times" is a curse. But "may you wish for something exciting to happen to you" is good fun if you're the protagonist of a murder mystery. It's 1960s Maine and Billie McCadie is bored out of her gourd. Things are about to get interesting, though, as she may have just stumbled upon a murder…



Genre: Mystery/Historical fiction 














Cybil can't wait to read this book because:  A legendary island offers visitors the lure of entertainment, feasts, and beautiful monsters. But few of those who venture to Isla Bestia ever leave. When a local woman arrives in an attempt to find her missing brother, she too is drawn into its attractions but finds they cover a dark history. Early reviewers are calling this novel a beautiful fever dream. 



Genre: Fantasy/Mystery














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Who's ready for a road trip? Friends Kayla and Zorie have taken up wedding crashing as a side hustle; they get in, they grab the gifts, they get out. But when their latest escapade takes a deadly turn, these literal ride-or-die besties find themselves on a madcap police chase across the American South.



Genre: Thriller














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Cowboy romances are having a real resurgence right now, and I can't wait for Danica Nava's take on this subgenre in her sophomore romance. Disgraced pop star Avery Fox flees to her grandmother's Oklahoma ranch, where she aims to lay low, learn about her Muscogee heritage, and win over surly ranch hand Lucas Iron Eyes. Also, Lucas Iron Eyes is a GREAT romance hero name.



Genre: Romance














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: It's a month for musical love stories! Country music star Luke Randall is down on his luck when a big break arrives. But here's the catch: Saying yes would put him back in the orbit of August Lane, his first love and also the woman whose lyrics he stole and claimed as his own for his breakout hit. Ooooh, these stakes are high!



Genre: Romance














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Lieutenant Eric Peterkin, veteran of the Great War, is called in to investigate when a retired colonel is shot and thrown from the window of the soldiers-only Britannia Club. Whodunit? A spy? A fellow club member? One of the colonel's four widowed daughters-in-law? I get big Lord Peter Wimsey vibes from this one for sure.



Genre: Historical mystery














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Ali Dawson's team puts the cold in cold cases by investigating crimes left unsolved for hundreds of years. Good thing they've got a little trick called time travel up their sleeves. But when Ali gets stuck in Victorian London while on the heels of a sinister and mysterious killer, things are bound to heat up fast.



Genre: Historical mystery/Speculative fiction/Time travel














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Want to get me, a notoriously squeamish scaredy-cat reader, to pick up a horror novel? Here's the trick: Say the words extremely terrible magic school where the faculty go on a cannibalistic rampage on graduation day.



Genre: Horror/Very dark academia














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: I love scary stories on Reddit and TikTok. So, I am intrigued by this horror novel featuring the host of a call-in radio show about hauntings and cryptic sightings being. One evening a caller describes a terror that unlocks our host's hidden memories of escaping a serial killer—a serial killer who may just have returned for her. 



Genre: Horror/Thriller














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: I came across this debut novel almost immediately after watching the hit movie . If you too walked out of the theater looking for more historical fiction vampire tales, you are in luck! Add in an alternative history plot that starts from the U.S. Civil War, and I think you have a page-turner.



Genre: Horror/Historical fiction














Cybil can't wait to read this book because: I think we can all agree home renovations are a nightmare. But throw in the malevolent spirit of a long-dead silent film star and, well, things are not going well with this project! 



Genre: Horror














Sharon can't wait to read this book because: Take the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, cross it with gothic thriller, and dump the whole thing into a slightly dystopian near-future and you get this book, wherein two parents must protect their child in a world where some humans turn Fae and disappear every autumn equinox. Sounds creepy and weird (in a good way)!



Genre: Speculative fiction/Sci-fi/Fantasy

At the beginning of each calendar month, 카지노싸이트’ crack editorial squad assembles a list of the hottest and most popular new books hitting shelves, actual and virtual. The list is generated by evaluating readers’ early reviews and tracking which titles are being added to Want to Read shelves by 카지노싸이트 regulars.

 

Each month’s curated preview features new books from across the genre spectrum: contemporary fiction, historical fiction, mysteries and thrillers, sci-fi and fantasy, romance, horror, young adult, nonfiction, and more. Think of it as a literary smorgasbord. Check out whatever looks delicious.

 

New in July: Former Daily Show writer Kashana Cauley takes on the student loan industry with the heist thriller The Payback. And mystery veteran Ruth Ware, author of The Woman in Cabin 10, returns with the long-awaited sequel titled—inevitably, somehow—The Woman in Suite 11.

 

Also on tap this month: cozy fantasy in England, contemporary romance in Montana, and an incredible true story from the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

 












Author Silvia Moreno-Garcia delivered a master class in elevated horror with her 2020 hit novel, Mexican Gothic, which found new things to do with the traditional creepy-old-house tale. Her new book is a multigenerational horror story that starts with witches in 19th-century Mexico and ends with a haunted graduate student in 1990s Massachusetts. Bonus meta twist: The grad student is studying the history of horror stories.














For her first adult mystery-thriller, beloved YA author Holly Jackson (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder) has come up with a banger of a setup. Wealthy 20-something Jet Davis has just suffered a head injury that will trigger a lethal aneurysm in seven days. Her plan: find the unknown assailant who inflicted said head injury and solve her own murder. Unfortunately, Jet has this thing about procrastination…














Early readers are saying very nice things about this buzzy debut from London-born author Loretta Rothschild, which turns on a tragic event that plays out in the early chapters. (Readers are being pretty good about dodging spoilers, but watch your step in the ratings and reviews section.) The quick gist: Finding Grace is a heartbreaking and complex family drama featuring dual timelines, multiple POVs, and a devastating moral dilemma.














Retired witch-turned-innkeeper Sera Swan lost her magical powers after an ill-advised resurrection project a few years back. But now it seems she has a chance to get back in with the Guild, thanks to a talking fox, a handsome historian, and an enchanted inn in Lancashire. Author Sangu Mandanna (The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches) returns with her usual and agreeable blend of fantasy, romance, and cozy witchiness. Witchy coziness?  














The first installment in a planned duology, this debut romantasy from author Brigitte Knightley looks like fun. The story features an unlikely alliance between a healer and an assassin from rival magical houses, who must team up to stop the return of a deadly pox. You can safely expect the usual romance tropes—enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity—plus some remarkably cool character names like Aurienne Fairhrim and Osric Mordaunt. Also: Check out the name of the duology.














Another debut novel getting lots of love from early readers, author Morgan Ryan’s historical fantasy switches up the typical story setting to great effect. Set amid the chaos of World War II, the book spotlights a mild-mannered British witch tasked with retrieving a powerful magical grimoire before the Germans find it. Also in play: a handsome Haitian American art historian, a deadly coven of Nazi witches, and a special appearance from Sir Winston Churchill.














Author Shari Lapena (The Couple Next Door) is back on shelves this month with another domestic thriller built around character twists, story swerves, and psychological suspense. When a work-at-home mom disappears from her luxury condo building, detective Jayne Salter discovers she’s got a loooooong list of suspects to work through. Motive! Means! Opportunity! Shady-ass rich people! Early readers are praising the book’s breakneck pace and narrative switchbacks.














Set in small-town Montana, this new contemporary romance from author Elissa Sussman (Funny You Should Ask) uses a dual-timeline structure to chart the life of former teenage hell-raiser Lauren Parker, now a single mom and recently widowed. After an inspiring bedroom encounter with a very famous actor, Lauren attempts to bring her past, present, and future back into alignment. Bonus trivia: Author Sussman has two dogs with the excellent names of Basil and Mozzarella.














In this carefully titled follow-up to her 2016 blockbuster, The Woman in Cabin 10, author Ruth Ware continues the story of travel writer Lo Blacklock, back on assignment to write up a luxury Swiss hotel. But when her billionaire host goes missing, Lo finds herself on the run with a mystery woman she’s not sure she can trust. British author Ware specializes in solidly constructed, old-school mysteries in the key of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.














This new romantasy yarn from author Julie Soto (Forget Me Not) starts out with our heroine, Princess Briony Rosewood, imprisoned in her own castle. In fact, she’s been auctioned off to a rival house and its disreputable scion, Toven Hearst. On the upside, Briony has nursed a crush on bad boy Toven for a good little while now. Let’s see what happens—Rose in Chains is slated to be the first installment in a new trilogy.














This new series starter from author Elise Kova (A Deal with the Elf King) threatens to further blur the already smudgy lines between fantasy, romance, and dark academia. It seems that outlaw mage Clara Graysword has been snatched from the jaws of prison by the headmaster of the infamous Arcana Academy. He wants her to pose as his devoted fiancée for reasons he refuses to discuss. Also in the mix: palace intrigue, a tricky heist situation, and a magic system based on tarot cards.














Author Ruben Reyes Jr. made a name for himself with last year’s short story collection There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven. With his debut novel, he’s delivered an intriguing specimen: a genre-agnostic hybrid of historical fiction, sci-fi, war chronicle, and dual timelines. The action is set in 2018 Harvard (and 1978 Havana) and features political revolution, family drama, and an experimental device for glimpsing alternate realities.














Author and former Daily Show writer Kashana Cauley has one of the season’s buzziest novels in play with The Payback, a darkly humorous revenge fantasy about one woman’s stand against the predatory student loan industry. It’s a heist story, basically, featuring the adventures of a debt-burdened trio of retail workers with a cunning plan to zero out their loans. Be sure to peek under the plot for some sharp observations on race, class, and terminal-stage capitalism.














In this almost unbelievable true-story account from British journalist Sophie Elmhirst, a young couple on a yearlong sailing expedition find themselves stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
