Additionally, two new books recommended for wider readership are 'Vanishing World' by Sayaka Murata, which explores themes of artificial insemination and communal child-rearing, and 'Somadina' by Akwaeke Emezi, set in West Africa with elements of magic and adventure.

Rebecca Yarros continues to dominate the list with three titles in the top five, including 'Onyx Storm' and 'Iron Flame', both part of the Empyrean series.

This week, 'Fourth Wing' gained an additional 15,000 new reads, showcasing its continued appeal.

The article highlights a concerning trend, noting that the most read books on Goodreads often lack diversity, emphasizing the need for more representation in popular literature.

Despite its slight decline, 'Fourth Wing', the first book in the Empyrean series, remains popular, attracting 17,000 readers last week and maintaining a solid 4.6 average rating.

New releases this week include 'Zeal' by Morgan Jerkins, a modern love story, and 'Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng' by Kylie Lee Baker, a horror novel with a gripping narrative.

This week, 'Sunrise on the Reaping' by Suzanne Collins, a prequel in the Hunger Games series, has taken the number one spot on Goodreads, selling an impressive 1.5 million copies in its first week and attracting 70,000 readers.

The book boasts a remarkable average rating of 4.7, solidifying its popularity among readers.

Meanwhile, Rebecca Yarros's 'Onyx Storm', the third book in the Empyrean series, has dropped to fourth place, with 24,000 readers and a 4.2 average rating.

Following closely, 'Fearless' by Lauren Roberts, the third installment in the Powerless series, ranks third with almost 25,000 readers and a 4.4 average rating.

However, her presence in the top five is slightly diminishing, with only two of her Empyrean series books remaining in the list.
