"The concept of "the page-turner" has always been a little slippery. Typically, the term refers to books with gripping, plot-heavy narratives. Readers want to know what happens next, pages get turned, everybody's happy. Think thrillers, mysteries, adventures—that sort of story.
But really, you can have a page-turner in any genre, as we found out when we crunched some numbers for this collection of recommended titles. We examined the average time it takes to finish a book, as determined by Goodreads readers marking a book "currently reading" to "read." By feeding the numbers into our supercomputer, we've determined the superior page-turners in a number of genres."
