A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine ( @byzantienne.bsky.social ) recently made its debut appearance in our 'Popular Books By Month'.

Per one review: "Think Star Wars TV series Andor's subplot with Mon Mothma for linguistics nerds, but with more queer yearning."

Red Rising by Pierce Brown was a favorite for Hardcover readers throughout 2025.

Many readers rave about the entire series, which currently stretches six books.

"Best series I've ever read. Hands down," wrote one reviewer in October.

The author with the most books overall in our trending list? @brandonsanderson.com ! After The Year of Sanderson (2023), 3 of his 4 secrets projects made it to number 1 (Yumi was 2nd behind Fourth Wing). While is mostly known as a Fantasy writer, a number of his Science Fiction works made it too.

2025 has been the year of Dungeon Crawler Carl. All 7 books of Matt Dinniman's series are in our top 15. It's fun to see book 2 join in March, book 3 in April, 4 in May - as new readers consumed the entire series.

Hi Brandy! Right now authors can apply as a librarian to be able to edit your own books and author profile. We’re planning out our 2026 roadmap right now & have some big author plans.

Would love to chat with you sometime to share some of our ideas and hear some of your dream features? - Adam
