More About Fiction Books

Good fiction books exercise your mind, and you can find all the best at Barnes and Noble, including all the must-read fiction books for 2025. Fiction is a big category that includes everything from the monsters and terrors of horror to the internal arcs of literary fiction. You’ll find the timeless classics of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, new sensations like fantasy books from Rebecca Yarros, contemporary fiction like The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus, and our Book of the Year for 2024, James. Whether you're looking for a visually stunning book like Charlie Mackesy's Always Remember to give as a gift or a fun read for yourself, find it here. If you’re in the mood for a little active problem-solving, check out the mystery or suspense section; if you’ve got a hankering for hurtling through space, science fiction has you covered; and if you’d rather keep your footing in the real world, you’ll find general fiction and literary fiction to your taste.

If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, you can browse the various fiction genres: general fiction, literary fiction, mystery, thrillers, horror, science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction and romance, or travel back to some of your childhood favorites in kids and young adult fiction.
