T.L. Branson is the founder of the YA Fantasy Addicts Facebook group and a lifelong series-binger who still remembers the exact moment reading “clicked”—picking up The Thousand Orcs by R. A. Salvatore back in 2004. He reads across Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance, and Thrillers.
He’s also an author, with four published books in the Soul Stones series—and when it comes to pure storytelling craft, he’ll happily tip the crown to George Lucas and J. K. Rowling.
Reads most: Fantasy, YA, Romance, Thrillers
All-time favorite: House of Earth and Blood

Caraval Series in Order + Once Upon a Broken Heart
The Caraval Series in Order can look more complicated than it first appears. Stephanie Garber’s fantasy world includes the original novels, an illustrated holiday story, collector’s editions with bonus material, and a separate series that follows one of Caraval’s most important characters.

The Naturals Series in Order: All 6 Books by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Naturals Series in Order includes five full-length novels and the novella Twelve. For the simplest reading order, start with The Naturals and continue through Killer Instinct, All In, Bad Blood, and Dangerous Impulses before finishing with Twelve.

Riley Sager Books in Order: All Novels + Todd Ritter Books
The Riley Sager books in order are straightforward: all ten thrillers under that name are standalone novels, beginning with Final Girls in 2017 and continuing with the forthcoming The Unknown in 2026. You can start anywhere, but I recommend publication order if you expect to read them all because Sager slips small references to earlier…

Kate Burkholder Series in Order: All Books & Short Stories
If you’re looking for Kate Burkholder series in order, Sworn to Silence is the first book. From there, I recommend following Linda Castillo’s Amish-country mystery series in publication order.

Andy Weir Books in Order: The Martian, Project Hail Mary & More
If you’re like me, you’ve just finished watching Project Hail Mary and then you realized the same author who wrote it also wrote The Martian. That’s led you to go looking for Andy Weir books in order, wondering if there are more science fiction epics for you to fall into. Weir’s stories work because they…

Robert B. Parker Books in Order: Spenser & Complete List
Looking for Robert B. Parker books in order? Parker’s bibliography is bigger than just Spenser, though that’s the series most readers know first. He also created Jesse Stone, Sunny Randall, and the Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch Westerns, plus a few standalones, young adult books, and nonfiction titles. For Parker, it helps to think by…
