I turn to Goodreads for reading recommendations whenever I'm looking for a new book.
The website's recommendation engine analyzes 20 billion data points to give suggestions tailored to my literary tastes — and they're spot-on most of the time.
To help guide your summer reading, Goodreads crunched the numbers to find the new and upcoming books its members love right now.
Paula Hawkins' "Into the Water" is making waves in mystery, and sequels from Sarah J. Maas and Cassandra Clare have cast their spell on YA readers, but aside from the titles everyone already knows about, the site wanted to bring its readers the big books that combine popularity with high marks. That's why every book on this list has a rating of four stars or higher.
