A while back, I put together a Cosmere reading order, and it ended up becoming one of the most popular articles on this site. Since then, Sanderson’s backlog has only gotten bigger, and I keep seeing the same question pop up from new and longtime readers alike: “Okay, but what about everything else?”

Warriors, also known as Warrior Cats, is published by HarperCollins under the collective pseudonym Erin Hunter. A team of …
The DCeased reading order is simpler than its overlapping miniseries can make it look. Tom Taylor’s alternate-universe DC horror saga begins when a corrupted Anti-Life Equation spreads through connected screens, leaving Earth’s heroes and villains to face the Anti-Living.
You don’t need to read any other DC comics first. I recommend starting with the five collected editions below because they …
Faye Kellerman books in order are fairly simple once you separate the Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus mysteries from her standalones, coauthored books, and short fiction. Most readers are here for Decker and Lazarus, but Kellerman’s bibliography has a few extra pieces worth sorting out too.

If you’re trying to read the Anita Blake series in order, I’d start with publication order for the main novels. Laurell K. Hamilton builds Anita’s world book by book, especially around Jean-Claude, Richard, Micah, Nathaniel, Edward, and the supernatural politics around St. Louis.
