Ryan Deiss
Best for: Founders and small-to-midsize business owners who feel trapped by operational dependency — people who launched a company for wealth and freedom but now find themselves the single point of failure for every decision.
Ahmad Abu Zannad
Best for: Marketers, brand strategists, cultural critics, and general readers who want to understand how advertising and algorithmic systems have come to shape not just consumer behavior but identity itself — particularly those comfortable with argument-driven, interdisciplinary nonfiction.
Daniel Coyle
Best for: Managers, coaches, educators, and team leads in any sector who want a research-informed but narrative-driven playbook for diagnosing and actively building stronger group culture.
Terry Pratchett
Best for: Readers aged ten and up — whether newcomers to Discworld or returning fans — who want a fantasy adventure that pairs boisterous comic invention with genuine emotional and thematic depth, and who are happy to meet one of Pratchett's sharpest, most practically minded protagonists in the first chapter of her complete five-book arc.
Tui T. Sutherland
Best for: Middle-grade readers aged 8–11 who are already invested in the Wings of Fire saga and want to follow Tsunami's underwater royal adventure in visually immersive graphic novel form.
Jonathan Haidt
Best for: Parents, school administrators, pediatricians, and policymakers who want the most fully developed single-volume case for restricting youth smartphone access, complete with a concrete policy agenda for families, schools, tech companies, and governments.
Adam Silvera
Best for: Readers aged 14 and up who loved They Both Die at the End and want more of Silvera's emotionally precise, bittersweet YA fiction — particularly those drawn to queer romance, speculative world-building, and stories that wrestle with mortality and the urgency of living fully.
Robert H. Lustig
Best for: Readers who want to understand the structural and biological mechanisms driving the chronic disease epidemic — not just what to eat, but how the food environment was shaped, who benefits, and what the science shows beneath layers of industry-influenced messaging.
Karen M. McManus
Best for: YA mystery-thriller fans aged 14 and up who loved the social dynamics of Bayview High in One of Us Is Lying and want a propulsive new story set in the same world with a fresh central trio.
Freida McFadden
Best for: Readers who are already fans of Freida McFadden's high-velocity domestic thrillers — or anyone who wants a fast, dark, morally compromised page-turner built around betrayal, suspected poisoning, and a triple unreliable-narrator structure that keeps suspicion in constant rotation.
Christina Applegate
Best for: Readers drawn to celebrity memoirs that trade career gloss for psychological rawness — particularly those interested in Christina Applegate's life through the lens of childhood trauma, MS diagnosis, and the kind of candid self-examination rarely found in the genre.
Saratoga Schaefer
Best for: Readers who love character-driven psychological thrillers with a social-media edge — especially fans of Schaefer's earlier work or anyone who wants a locked-room mystery that trades glossy influencer aesthetics for genuine dread and a queer, deeply flawed protagonist at its centre.
James Buckley Jr., Who HQ
Best for: Young soccer fans aged 7–9 who are encountering Cristiano Ronaldo's story for the first time and want a short, independently readable biography they can finish in one or two sittings.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Best for: Readers aged 12 and up who loved The Inheritance Games and want to dive straight back into Hawthorne Manor for more puzzle-driven intrigue, aspirational drama, and romance.
Terry Pratchett
Best for: Readers already invested in the Discworld City Watch sub-series — especially those who have finished Guards! Guards! — who want to see the Watch ensemble deepen with the introduction of Angua and the franchise's sharpest blend of police-procedural plotting and political satire.
Elle Gray
Best for: Fans of character-driven FBI procedurals who want a fast-moving thriller anchored by a protagonist whose personal grief — a murdered family and a missing sister — is as compelling as the case itself.
Adam Silvera
Best for: Devoted fans of Adam Silvera's They Both Die at the End series — particularly readers aged 14–18 who are drawn to YA that pairs speculative thriller momentum with unflinching, carefully handled explorations of mental health, grief, and identity.
Rick Riordan
Best for: Middle-grade readers aged nine and up — particularly those who have already enjoyed The Lightning Thief and want to follow Percy's continuing adventures through Greek mythology recast in contemporary America.
Holly Black
Best for: Older YA readers (15+) already invested in The Cruel Prince who want a densely plotted, politically sophisticated fantasy built around morally complex characters and an adversarial, high-tension central dynamic rather than a conventional romance.
I. V. Marie
Best for: Fans of the Souls of Blackwood Academy series — particularly readers aged 14 and up who finished Immortal Consequences and are invested in the ensemble cast's romantic pairings, faction-based supernatural conflict, and the purgatorial Blackwood Academy setting.
D. Flower
Best for: Readers who thrive on wide-ranging, immersive adventure memoirs and want a single book that moves them from the Himalayas and East Africa to post-Katrina Louisiana, with cultural depth and emotional candour throughout.
Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
Best for: Readers who love smart, irreverent comedy and want an apocalyptic romp that is warm-hearted rather than grim — particularly those who enjoy British absurdism, odd-couple dynamics, and satire that skewers religion, environmentalism, and modern inconvenience simultaneously.
Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein
Best for: Readers who want an immersive, scene-by-scene account of the Nixon White House in collapse — especially those already familiar with All the President's Men and prepared to engage critically with anonymous-source reconstruction as a methodology.
Navessa Allen
Best for: Readers already invested in the Into Darkness world after Lights Out who want high-heat, mafia-inflected dark romance with a second-chance storyline, morally grey characters, and thematic depth around agency, obsession, and escaping cycles of violence.
