Helen Pakpahan Why is everything by USA writers? Your choices are so narrow - i appreciate that you try to bring in books by non white Americans and by non-hetrosexual writers - but everything is SO USA centric - even the historical fiction is written by US based authors - I like to read to experience the world - to live through books of the lives in Russia, India, Nigeria, Ireland ...

Penelope Conklin I’m so excited for One Of Us is Back! I loved the first 2 and love reading murders so I can’t wait! Karen M. McManus is one of my favorite authors. For a school thing I chose her and I read all of her books and every time they got better and better.
One of Us Is Back by Karen M. McManus

message 62: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne Agree about the Best Title award...very clever!!
(On Earth as it is on Television). Not generally a reader of Sci-Fi, but the title really intrigues me!
Thanks for the article and list!!

message 68: by Cassondra (new)

Cassondra The romance list isn’t diverse at all. It’s all TikTok authors.


message 69: by Steph (new)

Steph Yes, I read 2 or 3 at a time all of the time. They are in different formats as well. Nice list.

Me too, it sounds fascinating!


message 72: by Mantas (new)

Mantas have male stopped writing?


message 73: by Jeff (new)

Jeff Mantas wrote: "have male stopped writing?"

Not at all. Several of the books on my list were written by guys.

Male authors outside of nonfiction don't get pushed as heavily by the Megas, and therefore don't show up on Goodreads' lists as much.


message 74: by Sara (new)

Sara just added the fisrt bright thing and lady tan's circle of women, but all books look fantastic
The First Bright Thing by J.R. Dawson , Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See


message 75: by Gemma (new)

Gemma Wilson Emma Brankin - Attention Seekers. Short stories are so ideal for Summer reading and I've read some of her work and LOVED it so can't wait for this to come out in July

message 76: by Sasha (new)

Sasha Wow, so many excellent books added to my queue -- cannot wait to read them, particularly the new fiction, which includes a lot of interesting historical pieces, including by Isabel Allende.


message 77: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa these summer horrors are so exciting !!!! Silver nitrate is my most anticipated read!!


message 78: by Eric (new)

Eric Sandroni Can anyone recommend me a good source of upcoming books? I know an exhaustive list must be difficult to find, but I'm having trouble finding out about new releases. Goodreads is great, but I'm mostly interested in non-fiction and I'm constantly finding books that came out years ago.

The best I've found is publisher website/ social media.


message 80: by zee! (new)

zee! ali hazelwood ahh!! the horror and thriller books look interesting as well.


message 81: by DoodleBug (new)

DoodleBug I wouldn't touch a single one of these with a ten-foot pole. What a load of worthless tripe.

Here's my own (current) list of books publishing from June 2023 through August 2023:


I don't think these lists are intended for the average reader.

I'm almost 100% certain you're right, but dammit, I'm going to keep trying to speak some sense into these threads as much as I can.

While working both in groups and solo to bring about the rise of other book review/ recommendation sites to eventually eclipse this one, for this very reason (among others).
