The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
This series is so new that there is only one book currently available, but the second book in the series, The Dragon Republic, will be released in August of this year. So you won’t have to wait much longer! This adult fantasy series is based on the history and politics of mid-20th century China and the Second Sino-Japanese War. The story follows protagonist Rin as she goes from being a poor orphan to training to be a part of an elite militia academy.
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
Part fantasy and part dystopian fiction, Who Fears Death is set in the distant future in a post-nuclear-holocaust Africa. Onyesonwu (whose name means “who fears death?”) is born into this world out of violence. But she is also born with magic and a destiny to end the genocide of her people. Currently, Who Fears Death and the prequel The Book of Phoenix, but with HBO recently optioning this for a television series, it’s likely there will be more to this story soon.
Dublin Murder Squad by Tana French
Each novel in this mystery series follows a different detective character loosely connected to previous protagonists in the series because they all work within the same murder squad in Dublin, Ireland. If you’re interested in a character-driven mystery series, Tana French’s novels cannot be missed. Start with the first book in the series, In The Woods, or read them in whatever order you’d like. For a thoughtful suggestion on which Dublin Murder Squad books you should read first, check out thi...
The Perveen Mistry series by Sujata Massey
If you’re looking to jump into a newer mystery series, Sujata Massey’s Perveen Mistry series is the way to go, with the second novel in the series, The Satapur Moonstone, having just been published a month or so ago. This series is set in 1920s Bombay, and it is based on an actual person from history, Cornelia Sorabji, India’s first woman lawyer.
The Beautiful series by Christina Lauren
Written by Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings under the singular pen name Christina Lauren, The Beautiful Series(also known as The Beautiful Bastard Series) is a collection of romance novels and novellas featuring Chloe, a hardworking intern, and Bennett Ryan, her no-nonsense, extremely demanding (and yet extremely attractive) boss.
The Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day
The Crossfire Series follows the romantic journey of Eva Tramell and Gideon Cross. Eva moves to New York from San Diego for a chance at a new start after an abusive childhood. When she meets her boss Gideon Cross, she immediately feels a connection. Then she discovers Gideon also comes from a troubled past, and the two begin to find ways to heal one another.
The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is basically a classic by now, and for good reason. Anne Rice’s vision of vampires has essentially shaped the way we view vampires in contemporary literature. With 13 books currently available in the series, you could be following Lestat and his fellow vampire’s storylines through an intense marathon reading session all summer long. The most recent novel in the series, Blood Communion, just came out last year, so it doesn’t look like Anne Rice’s success...
The War of the Roses series by Conn Iggulden
There are many adult series about The War of the Roses out there, but Con Iggulden’s is by far the best, especially if you’re looking for thoughtful and meaningful characterization. The first novel, Stormbird, begins in 1437, following the death of King Edward III. Following what was a mostly peaceful regency, Henry VI ascends the throne to an atmosphere of political unrest and uncertainty.
The Wolf Hall series by Hilary Mantel
Wolf Hall chronicles one of the most fascinating moments in British history, the reign of Henry VIII. The novels are told from the perspective of Thomas Cromwell, one of Henry Tudor’s most trusted advisors. Mantel follows Thomas Cromwell’s journey from his humble beginnings, to his rise to a powerful advisor of the court, and finally to his eventual downfall. The first two books in the series are currently available, and the third is coming out in 2020. So catch up on the first two now so you...
