Fantastic Fiction
Escape into new worlds or see our world in a new light with fiction of every genre. Lighten the mood with feel-good books that help you forget life’s stressors. Swoon over enemies-to-lovers romances. Or keep the lights on for spine-tingling stories that’ll have you looking over your shoulder. No matter how you’re feeling in the moment, there’s a novel to match your mood.
Noteworthy Nonfiction
Gain a better understanding of the world we live in with nonfiction books that place you in the minds of fascinating people, teach you about important issues like race relations in America or provide an art break in a hectic world.
Essential Reading
Fill your bookshelves with must-read stories from diverse writers, and you’ll be a more well-rounded person for it. They’ll challenge your perceptions and widen your perspective—and they’re compulsively readable to boot.
Banned Books
Book banning is on the rise, but you can stand up for your right to read by picking up banned books and sharing them with fellow bookworms.
Books for Young Readers
Fostering a love of reading early in childhood is one of the best ways to turn your kids into lifelong book lovers. In fact, most adults can point to the children’s books that changed their lives. But so-called books for kids have a wider appeal—just ask all the grown-ups hooked on YA novels.
Books Fit for Gifting
There are books you read for the characters and those you read to learn about real-life heroes. Both types make great gifts, but there are plenty of other books and bookish goodies that avid readers will enjoy too.
Audiobooks for All
We don’t care what anyone says: Listening to audiobooks counts as reading. And for a lot of people, it’s the best way to stay on top of an out-of-control reading list. So pick your next great read, turn up the car stereo and get ready to escape into a great story.
From Page to Screen
Everyone knows the book is always better, so read these books that have gone on to be adapted for film and TV.
