Thrilling adventure novels, horrors, dramas, thrillers with a twisted plot - and all just the freshest.

1. Liters

A large Internet library with a large collection of books: there are more than a million titles here and 48,000 of them are available free of charge. Here there are modern fiction, classics, and manuals for self-development and learning - the choice is huge.

Fresh works, as you might guess, are in the "News" section. However, in the mobile application they cannot be sorted by genre - this feature is present only in the web interface.

By the way, at "Liters" you can get books for rent for two weeks for free. To do this, you will need a special library card with a username and password, which can be obtained from the district library. A list of institutions where this can be done is available here.

2. LiveLib

LiveLib is a kind of social network for book lovers: here you can gather in interest groups, write reviews and discuss what you read with friends. The service does not sell books itself, but suggests where to buy them at a discount.

You can see new books, as well as only announced editions, divided by genre. Or use the recommendation wizard: just specify your favorite genres and works, and the service will select something similar.

In addition, the site publishes a bunch of collections of works united by common themes, and ratings of the best books are compiled.

3. Bookmate

Another online library where you do not buy individual books, but pay for a subscription to all the publications contained in it - and there are more than 12 million of them. Please note that books are available only through the Bookmate website or application - you cannot download and open them in a third-party reader.

The new products section is naturally present. But, unfortunately, there is no sorting at all, so science fiction and thrillers are mixed with books on self-development.

4. Readly

Service with personalized book recommendations. Evaluate the read works, and you will be offered something similar, as well as suggest where it is better to buy it in electronic or paper version.

It is also convenient to keep track of new items through Readly - there is a special page for this. The works are divided by genre, you can add them to your own reading list and share your favorite editions with friends.

5. ReadRate

There is also something to profit from in the new products section on ReadRate. It publishes a selection of new books of the month, as well as the names of the expected works, which are just about to be published. They can be added to the Reading List so that you don't forget to purchase them for the occasion and recommend them to your friends. ReadRate does not sell books itself, but it can help you find where to buy them more profitably.

Seekers of fresh stuff should look into the sections "Best Books of the Day" and "Best Books of the Week", which contains only the newest editions.

7. MyBook

MyBook is an electronic library with a handy new products page, where you can find the latest publications for a week or a month. The collection is replenished with a couple of thousand new books every month.

In addition, the service periodically publishes interesting thematic collections, for example, the best new books about business, novelties from detective stories, or fresh foreign prose. Separately, it is worth mentioning the section "News of the Week", where newly published books appear every seven days.

You cannot buy books separately here - pay for a subscription and read what you want through the website or mobile application.

8. Labyrinth

You can also track new items through the website of this bookstore. Note, however, that "Labyrinth" sells only paper editions. But no one forbids finding the names of fresh books through it, and then downloading them in electronic form somewhere else.

The service stands out thanks to a highly customizable filtering system - here it is easy to select only those genres and works that will be of interest to you. Books can be sorted by genre, alphabet, indicate how new they should be (for example, published in the last three days, or week, or month). In addition to the literature itself, there are also comics with manga.

This site is just a treasure trove of interesting books for fans of science fiction. In addition, information on fantasy, horror and mysticism can be found here.
