About BookTrends

BookTrends.co.uk is a curated insight platform designed for authors, aspiring writers, and book enthusiasts who want to understand what's resonating with readers in today's fiction market.

We analyze the top bestselling books in popular genres—like thriller, romance, fantasy, science fiction, and young adult—to uncover the themes, tropes, and trends that drive success. Each book featured on the site includes a concise synopsis, a thematic breakdown, and a summary of reader sentiment based on publicly available reviews.

Our goal is simple: to help writers stay inspired, informed, and aligned with what readers are loving right now. Whether you're looking for ideas, writing to market, or just curious about what's trending, BookTrends offers a quick and meaningful look into the stories readers can't put down.

This platform is currently in its early phase and will expand over time. We're manually curating content for the top 50 fiction bestsellers across key genres, with plans to automate and broaden our coverage in the near future.

We also proudly support writers through our parent platform, WritersDesk.co.uk—a powerful writing companion for planning stories, developing characters, and organizing creative work.
