About the site
Books worth discovering, without making reading feel like homework.
Books N Dreams is an independent book-discovery website operated by Fernando Deza, trading as Softmotic. We publish practical reading guides designed to help readers discover books by genre, subject, author, country, language and reading mood.
The catalogue can include fiction, literary classics, fantasy and science fiction, mystery and thrillers, romance, biographies and memoirs, history, children's and young-adult books, poetry, essays and other specialist reading interests.
How our guides work
Our pages are editorial discovery tools rather than definitive rankings. A recommendation can be useful because of its theme, style, readership, cultural relevance, edition, format or fit with a particular reading interest. Different readers can reasonably prefer different books.
Books, editions and translations
A single work may exist in multiple editions, translations and formats. Before buying, readers should verify the exact title and author, language or translator, publisher, publication date, ISBN where relevant, and whether the listing is for hardcover, paperback, ebook, audiobook or another edition.
Commercial relationship
Some links on Books N Dreams are affiliate links. If a reader follows one of those links and completes a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission without increasing the price charged by the retailer. Affiliate relationships help fund the operation and development of the site.
