Frequently Asked Questions

Books in Order is a comprehensive reading guide that helps you discover the correct reading order for book series and authors. We provide chronological order, publication order, and recommended reading sequences for thousands of authors and series.

You can search for authors using our search bar on the homepage or browse through our Authors page. Each author page shows their complete bibliography organized by series and publication order.

Publication order is the order in which books were originally published, while chronological order follows the timeline of events within the story. We typically recommend publication order for first-time readers, as authors often write with the assumption that readers have read previous books.
