I turn to Goodreads for reading recommendations whenever I'm looking for a new book.
The website's recommendation engine analyzes 20 billion data points to give suggestions tailored to my literary tastes — and they're spot-on most of the time.
To help guide your summer reading, Goodreads crunched the numbers to find the new and upcoming books its members love right now.
Paula Hawkins' "Into the Water" is making waves in mystery, and sequels from Sarah J. Maas and Cassandra Clare have cast their spell on YA readers, but aside from the titles everyone already knows about, the site wanted to bring its readers the big books that combine popularity with high marks. That's why every book on this list has a rating of four stars or higher.

13 of the best Stephen King short stories you've  never read By  Sam Haysom / May 19, 2017 Flip this into… 38 likes Leave a comment Share on Stephen King writes great fiction of all lengths. Image: Maja Hitij/Epa/REX/Shutterstock I haven't managed to read all of Stephen King's novels yet — I'm still working on that — but I  have  read all of his short stories. All of the published ones, anyway. While many authors release a collection or two early on and then switch their focus to novels, King has written short fiction throughout his epic 50-year career. At the time of writing he has well over 100 short stories published across six different collections (and that's before you even get started on his novellas, which definitely warrant a separate post of their own). From terrifying grandmothers to murderous chattery teeth, I've picked out 13 of my favourite King short stories below, broken down by the collection ...
