The Bibliophile's Complete List of the Best Books of Each Genre - Page 3

I now provide a single list that combines all of my individuals lists for the best books of over 20 genres of fiction. I listed the best 40 books for each genre, meaning that for this list, each page is a separate genre. Below is a guide as to what genre each page of this list relates to. Just a note - because novels can obviously fall into multiple genres, you'll see a range of books listed more than once (I think one novel may be in at least 5 lists), so be aware that that's not a mistake. I hope you enjoy...
Pg1 - Historical Fiction; Pg2 - Horror; Pg3 - Thrillers; Pg4 - Children's Literature; Pg5 - War; Pg6 - Fantasy; Pg7 - Family Sagas; Pg8 - Dystopian Literature; Pg9 - Crime, Spy & Detective Fiction; Pg10 - Eco-fiction; Pg11- Science Fiction; Pg12 - Classical Literature; Pg13 - LGBTQ+ Literature; Pg14 - Literary Fiction; Pg15 - Magical Realism; Pg16 - Erotica; Pg17- Young Adult Fiction; Pg18 - Romance; Pg19 - Satire; Pg20 - Westerns; Pg21 - Adventure Novels; Pg22 - Epics.
