Megahit Reader? Genre Gem Seeker? Find Your Next Read With These 84 Books

From Goodreads:
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 Goodreads.
