Our second recommendation, the An Aurora Teagarden Mystery series, is written by bestselling author Charlaine Harris.

What is this series about?

The Miss Julia series tells us about a widowed woman of the same name, her life will change drastically the day that Hazel Marie Pucked shows up at her door with a 9-year-old kid, a child that comes with a harsh revelation: the boy is the bastard son of her, Miss Julia’s, late husband.

As happens with lots of these mystery series, each of the novels is self-conclusive. Therefore, it is not mandatory to read the Miss Julia series in order. However, we do recommend that you start with Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind, because in this you’ll get an introduction to the characters and the setting. If you decide to read them at your own will then we advise you not to read the back covers of these books, because they may spoil the ending of the previous one in the series. Be careful so as to not ruin the fun!

In case you were wondering, Miss Julia is not based on any person Ann B. Ross knows, but the character is rather a combination of mannerisms of people she has known throughout her life.

This story takes place in the south of the United States, during the 1950s. One of the most appealing aspects of this series is the quirky humor of the main character, the rest of the cast is well built as are the dialogues, which are rich and entertaining.

wahammer 40k books in order

Warhammer 40k reading order

The lore created by GW is incredibly complex and fascinating, we got a list with the Warhammer 40k books in order so you can delve into this enthralling universe. There are many volumes and books that cover the different armies and yes, the  Big Four Chapters get most of the love, but we’ll try to cover as many armies, races, and events as possible.

In what order you should read the Warhammer 40k novels? oh, boy, that’s a complicated question. And we got the answer, but, what did it cost? everything… from lots of heresy to bribing a bunch of gretchins, and even having to listen to a Shas’el lecturing us about the Tau’va for several hours… 

List with the Warhammer 40k books in order

First of all you should know that these are subseries that are self contained, that is, each of them focus on a different event. Because of this, you can actually skip any of the series we suggested and focus on the ones that center on the factions or characters you are most interested about.

Here’s the Warhammer 40k reading order, make note that you don’t actually have to follow this guide since, as said before, the stories in each of these subseries are not connected at all and focus on different events.

The Eisenhorn series is generally considered as the best introduction to the Warhammer 40k novels since it’s quite easy to get into it. With this sort of detective story you’ll get into the Imperium. Here’s how to start with the Warhammer 40k novels:

There’s way more WH 40k books, plenty more in fact,so many that It would be quite impractical to collect them all. That’s why we decided to make a more exclusive selection of the series that we believe you should not miss.

Now that we told you the order of the Warhammer 40k books don’t miss these series

There are many scifi novels that you should not miss, the following novels are a must if you enjoy the military genre:

Quick note, we are not including the Horus Heresy book series in this list because not only do we have an entire post dedicated to it but they also happen to take place before WH 40k. More specifically, they are set in the 30k. So, yes, they are a sort of prequel, and, while they are no mandatory to either understand or  start reading the Warhammer 40k novels they happen to be one of the major events so you should give them a try as well.

Our first recommendation is an acclaimed work, you’ll really enjoy this story if you love military fiction set in a Star Wars alike universe, here’s a list of  the Galaxy’s Edge books in order.

Would you rather read a story that mixes humor with scifi? then here a list with Dennis E Taylor’s Bobiverse books in order, so much fun!

Warhammer 40k books in chronological order: this is why you can’t read them that way

warhammer 40k reading order
Warhammer 40k reading order

It would be amazing, and way easier, to tell you that there’s a list in which you could find all the Warhammer 40 k books in chronological order. But, sadly, that’s not how it works (party because most of the 40k stories are not set on a specific date). 

Let’s put it this way, there’s actually no main plot in this series, instead, there’s a lot of stories that revolve around a certain event or an important character (an emperor, a primarch, a Warlord,etc). Therefore, while all the WH 40k novels share the setting, they are not actually connected (except the ones that belong to the same subseries, of course).

While it may be frustrating for some, we believe it’s better to forget about any attempt to follow the chronology of events narrated in these stories and just try to have fun. Speaking of having joy, here’s our list with the best warhammer fantasy books to start with.

What are these novels about?

warhammer 40k book order
Warhammer 40k book order

Warhammer 40k is a popular military table top wargame created by Games Workshop played with miniature figures. There are different factions and armies.

The setting of this game is a hostile universe in which there’s no hope, only war and heresy. It is full of different races and creatures who are more than willing to kill and extinguish each other. One of the most captivating aspects of this wargame is its well developed lore. Behind each of the armies that are part of this game there’s a rulebook that stipulates every single detail of them (how much they move, their weapons, and a long and extensive etc).

Aside from that, there are certain miniatures that happen to be the leaders of these armies (primarchs, warlords or so on). The background of these prominent characters is incredibly well built, and so is the universe in which all these fictional battles take place, that’s why fans are more than willing to read any Warhammer novel based on their favorite factions.

There’s no denial that the Space Marines faction is the most popular, the ultramarines usually being the most prominent Chapter. However, there’s room for other armies to have their place in this military scifi literature.

There you have it, now that you have a list with the Warhammer 40k books in order you can start reading this amazing scifi military series. What’s your favorite faction? leave a comment and tell us!

Elle Kennedy’s Briar U in order

We are getting back to college because we got a list with the Briar U series in order, the spin-off of one of the most popular series by Elle Kennedy. The fun thing about these novels is that you already know their protagonists because they happen to be side characters in the Off-Campus books.

For instance, the first volume in the Briar U books is starred by no other than Summer! will she find love? let’s find out.

Briar U series in order by Elle Kennedy

This spin-off series is composed of 4 volumes, each of the novels in this tetralogy focusing on a different romance. Here you have all the Briar u books in order:

Needless to say, you should read the original novels before reading this spin-off. Because of this, make sure that you check out this post with the Off Campus series in order, it is a pentalogy focusing on 4 couples (the 5th volume in the series being a summary of what happened with them 3 years after being graduated)

Now that we told you the order of the Briar u series don’t miss these novels

You are itching for more steamy romance novels, aren’t you? of course you are, we already knew that! and that’s why we already have selected 3 great series that you should add to your TBR list:

At this point, we have no doubt that you will devour the Briar U book series in no time, and what if you need to read more of Elle Kennedy’s fascinating writing? then you can start with the DreamMakers series.

Do you love dangerous love? then you should read the Shatter Me series, a story of a girl who has the most powerful power: whoever touches her will die, will any man be able to love her knowing that he won’t even be able to feel her skin?

What are these books about?

Elle Kennedy Briar U order
Elle Kennedy Briar U in order

The Briar U book series tells us about 4 different steamy romance stories starred by side characters of the original series by Elle Kennedy. In the first novel, for example, the main character is Summer, while in the second one is Brenna Jennsen (who will be introduced in the first volume).

The Chase, book 1 in the series, tells us about the romance between Summer and Colin. They could be no more different, because he is into video games, hockey, and tattoos… and the worst thing is, that he is the best buddy of her brother.

You might be wondering if you have to read the Off Campus books before reading these novels, or even if it’s mandatory to read the Briar U series in order. Truth is, since each of these novels center on a different couple, there is no need to read them in a specific order, because they can be read as standalone. Having said this, since these characters make an appearance in the original series, we believe your reading will be more satisfactory if you read the Off Campus books first.

Also, here’s the most popular quote from the first book in the series. A quick way for you to know about the funny tone of the Briar U books:

Will there be more books in the series? while there is no news about this, we believe that there’s a chance that there might be at least one more volume in the Briar U series. As you might already know, the Off Campus’ book 5 was a follow-up of all the 4 relationships narrated along the series, maybe the same will happen with these novels and we’ll have a new volume that tells us how did it go to our beloved characters? would you like it to be so? leave a comment and tell us.

Have you read the Lord of the Underworlds books? you’ll definitely love them, a steamy paranormal romance that tell us about greek guardians that were punished for failing their duty. Each of the volumes will center on a different character, telling us how he finds love.

We also have a more different recommendation… what if you were abducted and you ended up landing in a cold planet in which a huge muscular blue alien claims you as his new partner? sounds good? then here’s the Ice Planet Barbarians reading order, the perfect guide for you to discover all these sci-fi romance novels.

What are these books about?

Off Campus series order

The Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy is a compilation of steamy romance stories that take place in the same college. As said before, the first volume tells us about Hannah Wells, her crush seems to not notice her mere presence so, she will end up tutoring Graham, the childish captain of the hockey team, in exchange for a false date with which she can make her crush yellow.

However, things will get out of hand, and once Hannah and Graham kiss they will end up having the best sex of their lifes…

While the first 4 volumes have a similar structure (each of them centering on a different college romance), this is not so in the last volume in the Off Campus series. The Legacy tells us about the 4 couples previously introduced in the series, the story takes place 3 years after their life after being graduated. How will it be for them to be adults?

A list of the Off Campus series in order

The following list collects all the books in the Off Campus series in order of publication, which is how we recommend you read these novels. This story is concluded, the last book serving as a wrap-up of all the romance stories previously introduced in the series.

  • The Deal (Off Campus book 1)
  • The Mistake (Off Campus book 2)
  • The Score (Off Campus book 3)
  • The Goal (Off Campus book 4)
  • The Legacy (Off Campus book 5)

Does this mean it is impossible that there will be more novels in the series? while not impossible, it is quite unlikely that this happens. However, it may be possible that there would be a follow-up of the events shown in the 5th novel (serving thus as an introduction to a new series showing our favorite college student characters after 3 years from graduation).

Maybe you also enjoy a mix of fantasy and romance? sounds fun to you? if so, we told you the order to read Throne of Glass not a long time ago. This series, by bestselling author Sara J. Maas, is one of the best introductions to this genre.

As you can see, aside from book 5, there’s no need to read the Off Campus series in order. That is, since each of them focuses on a different romance, it is not mandatory to read them following a specific order. However, we believe that reading these novels as we suggested is the best way to have a great experience.
