The Definitive 2026 Reading Companion

NextBookInTheSeries.com was built for the voracious reader who refuses to wait. We track over 4,800 series and 1,200+ authors to ensure you never miss a release date, pre-order, or series finale.

Why This Site Exists

It's maintained by a Melbourne-based developer who got frustrated looking up reading orders the hard way — and decided to build something better.

How We Stay Current

While the site architecture is programmatic, all 2026 release data is manually vetted against official publisher listings and Amazon records.

It covers more than 1,200 authors and 4,800 series, from long-running crime thrillers and epic fantasy to cosy mysteries and literary fiction. Series pages are updated continuously as new books release.

How It Works

Every series page lists books in their recommended reading order — usually publication order, but occasionally chronological order where that makes more sense — with links to find each book on Amazon.

The site uses Amazon affiliate links. If you buy a book through a link here, a small commission is earned at no extra cost to you. It helps keep the site running and updated.

Get in Touch
