Do you need help choosing your next book?

The World Book Night booklist is full of recommendations for young people and adults alike. But how you do know which one to choose?

We’ve separated the list out into categories to help you pick a book. Whether you like fast-paced thrillers, real life stories, or are looking for something to help you make positive changes to your life, now you can find your perfect book.

If you’re new to reading, or short on time, you can also explore Quick Reads – short books and great stories written by bestselling authors.

Real Lives

Crime and thriller

Great Stories

Sometimes we just need a really great story to pass the time and escape the worries of everyday life. These books are all very different, but all fantastic reads.

Young Adult

A selection of books perfect for any age, but suitable for readers aged 14+.
