That night, you curl up with your previously unknown purchase, and soon the world falls away. You’re absorbed into the story and don’t surface until the final pages, as the sun comes up. Your instincts were right. This was a jewel of a book hidden amongst the spines, and you were able to unearth it. Isn’t that the dream? As fun as it is to keep up with the buzzy books, there’s something wonderful about feeling like you’ve discovered a great story that most people aren’t aware of. Hopefully, you can champion it and give it some of the praise it deserves. That’s what we do here in the Best Books You’ve Never Heard Of series! We talk about the under the radar books we love. Our arbitrary cut off is books with 250 ratings (not reviews) or less on Goodreads. You can find out your own little known gems by sorting your Goodreads Read page by number of ratings. But enough scene-setting: let’s get into the books! Looking for even more of the best underrated books? Check out the previous editions of The Best Books You’ve Never Heard Of!
