The Most Read Books on Goodreads This Week

In 10 of the Most Pre-ordered Audiobooks of Spring 2024, Kendra Winchester said: “Emily Henry and Julia Whelan might very well be the perfect pairing. In Henry’s latest romance, children’s librarian Daphne becomes friends with Miles, her ex-fiancé’s new girlfriend’s ex-partner. Complicated? Sure, but we all know we are more than up for another charming romance performed by one of the best narrators working today.”

This historical fiction is still going strong at #4—the same as last week.

As Danika Ellis said about it last week, “It’s the newest from the author of The Nightingale and is set in 1965, during the Vietnam War.”

McFadden is also having quite the year. Her books have been a regular on these weekly roundups, and have a big readership across different countries.

This week alone, this mystery/thriller has had ~13,000 people read it.

Oh, Fourth Wing. The trajectory of this book has been interesting. It went mega gangbusters last year, then the hype cooled down as it would for any title, now it’s back up. Most likely, as I mentioned before, this is because of the paperback release.

But regardless of the reason behind its ranking on this list, this dragon-filled romantasy had 13,000+ people read it just this week.

This rootin’ tootin’ romance is maintaining its spot from last week. As the second in the Rose Hill series, it was read by a whopping 18,000+ people this week.

Dark academia and vampire girlies rejoice! This September release combines both, and even adds some really cool Ethiopian elements.

Anne Mai Yee Jansen wrote about it in 8 Spicy Dark Academia Romance Books to Read This Autumn, saying: “Tigest Girma’s debut novel turns vampire lore on its head. In Immortal Dark, vampires (aka draniacs) and humans coexist via carefully designed rules. Kidan Adane and her sister June are orphans, but when their last aunt dies, their family legacy threatens everything. June goes missing, and Kidan is determined to get her back at all costs. But in order to do so, her journey will take her deep into the hallowed halls of Uxlay University and a vampire named Susenyos who may be her sister’s abductor. The enemies-to-lovers dynamic between them will keep you burning that midnight oil despite the fact that this is just the first book of a highly-anticipated trilogy.”
