How the catalogue works
How we check the data →The Well Bookshop is a reading-order database. It tracks 1,190 series, 10,592 books and 598 authors. Since each series page lists the books in order, you always know where to begin.
Most series can be read in more than one order. Publication order follows the release dates, while chronological order follows the story. We also give a recommended order for new readers, and we label it as editorial advice.
376 series still run, and 753 have finished. 60 series already have a dated next book. Because we track release dates, you can see what is coming before it lands.
Romance is the biggest shelf, with 359 series. Fantasy has 306 and Thriller has 215. Each shelf lists its series from A to Z, while the shelf page also tracks upcoming releases.
The longest series is Geronimo Stilton by Elisabetta Dami, with 86 books. 2,426 standalone books have no series, and each one has its own page. Because the A to Z index lists them all, nothing is hard to find.
You can search by series, author or book title. The search box also answers questions, such as who writes a series now. Because the answer comes from the same catalogue, it matches the page it links to.
We never guess a date or a number. If no reliable source states a fact, the field stays empty. Because we never guess a field, each list stays honest, even when a page ends up shorter.
