Fiction

Fiction books can invite you to step back in time, can craft entire worlds with nothing more than imagination and wordplay, and can keep you up at night with bone-chilling thrillers that you can’t put down until it’s all over. These stories allow us to disappear from our own lives and into find ourselves somewhere completely new, with the characters and places often occupying our thoughts even when the book is closed.

It’s the magic of a great fiction book, and there’s a whole universe of it to explore here with Booktopia.

Fantasy books are one of the most beloved sub-genres in fiction. From the modern powerhouses like Brandon Sanderson and the classic favourites such as J.R.R. Tolkien, fantasy authors are known for crafting entirely new worlds, new magic systems, and even new languages.

Here you can get lost in the hilarity of Terry Pratchett’s works, or swoon over the romance of Sarah J. Maas’ series. The worlds are endless and expansive, and yours to discover.

Historical fiction takes you by the hand and leads you back in time. It could be to World War Two France, to Victorian England, to the golden age of Hollywood in California, or practically anywhere between.

Authors weave a picture of what it was like to live in these times, these places, and often do so with such conviction that it’s easy to forget these stories are works of fiction.

Some books are simply classics, and many readers will take the time to go through the highlights of history and pick up these novels to learn why. That includes the works of Jane Austen and her sharp wit that was ahead of its time, and the mind-bending ‘whodunnits’ of Agatha Christie who set the standard for modern mystery writing. These stories have found their places in our collective culture as fiction book lovers, and their lasting legacies are yours to explore with Booktopia.
