If you’re a fan of e-books, there’s a good chance you currently use or have used Kindle Unlimited to find your next read. With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, there are countless books you can borrow and read for free, and the number continues to grow every day. If you’re new to the program or have only recently gotten into reading, the sheer number of books to choose from might be overwhelming. But don’t worry – we’re here to help. We’ve gathered our top Kindle Unlimited reads across some of the most popular genres to help you find your next favorite book.
Romance
Romance is the backbone of the publishing industry. As the best-selling fiction category, it’s no surprise there are a ton of romance books on Kindle Unlimited. Whether you love historical romance or contemporary, there are plenty of books for all the romance lovers out there. You can find all your favorite tropes from the best traditional and indie romance authors. These books can get pretty spicy, though, so be sure to do your research before reading if that’s something you’re uncomfortable with. Here are some great starting points.
Fantasy/Sci-fi
While Kindle Unlimited is a great way to discover indie and self-published authors, there are a ton of big-name, traditionally published authors, as well. If you’re looking to get into sci-fi and fantasy, Kindle Unlimited is a great place to start. From classic authors like J.R.R. Tolkien to popular modern fantasy writers like V.E. Schwab, Kindle Unlimited has plenty of sci-fi and fantasy reads for you to choose from. Here are some of our favorites.
Romantasy
Over the last few years, romantasy has taken over the book community. Romantasy is a blend of romance and fantasy, and it was even added as an official genre in the Goodreads Choice Awards 2023. Many romantasy books begin as self-published books and later get picked up by traditional publishers due to their popularity on Kindle Unlimited, so be sure to read them for free while you still can! You never know which title will get picked up next. As with contemporary romance, romantasy books can get spicy and/or dark, so do your research if you have concerns about the content. Here are some of our current favorites.
Young Adult
If you’re looking for some book recommendations written for a younger audience, Kindle Unlimited also has plenty of young adult books to choose from. With selections from beloved YA authors like Suzanne Collins and Leigh Bardugo, you can revisit your old favorites or find new authors to add to your own recommendation list. Here are a few of our current recs.
We hope you enjoyed our recommendations for the top Kindle Unlimited reads.
