Reading Lists

Where to begin, when the shelf feels overwhelming.

Themed reading lists from the GrowthSpark team, designed to give readers a coherent month, or a coherent shelf.

For readers new to a genre

The entry points that make the rest of a genre make sense.

For readers with a favorite author

What to read while waiting for the next book from a writer you love.

For readers in a slump

The shorter, sharper books that get you back to reading.

For readers who prefer nonfiction

Narrative nonfiction that reads with the pace of a novel.

Every list is annotated. We do not simply hand you titles. We tell you why they are on the list, and where to start.
