FictionDB provides free fiction information, encourages the love of reading, and allows readers to keep track of their books.
FictionDB is a comprehensive online database for fiction lovers, offering extensive lists of books by author and series, detailed author bibliographies (including pseudonyms), and tools to track your reading, find books you can't recall by title, and discover new releases. FictionDB helps readers organize their books, discover new authors and series, and research books across various genres.
In essence, FictionDB acts as a digital guide and organizational tool for exploring the world of fiction, particularly within the popular genres of romance and mystery.
Using the robust metadata from our database, we offer a wide variety of other information. When you visit FictionDB.com, you can:
Welcome to FictionDB! I'm Kelly Petersen Wong, the crazy person who dreamed up this enormous database of fiction book information. I've been an avid reader since the age of four and have never stopped reading fiction since. Technically, FictionDB is owned and operated by The Riviera Group, but that's for the business people. We have lots of contributors to the site, but the majority of the day-to-day operation of the site is performed by me (yes, I also do all the programming which is why site functionality can be changed instantly).
FictionDB.com opened its virtual doors in November 1999 with the mission to use the Internet to provide complete, accurate and reliable information for readers of genre fiction. The site started with just one database, Romance, but the response was overwhelming. Readers wanted one source of information for their needs: bibliographies, pseudonyms, and series.
The site has grown considerably since the early days with the addition of Mystery, Suspense, Western, Speculative, Young Adult and, finally, General Fiction. We are always trying to improve the quality of information available on our site. We invite our visitors to become editors and help us keep the site updated. Become an editor
When FictionDB started back in 1999, the term social network did not even exist as we know it today. We've seen the rise of review sites, then blogs, and now social networks for books. Most have failed; some have survived. We're lucky to be one of the survivors. We thrive by providing something that book lovers really want: one place where they can find just about anything they want to know about an author's books or series. The site maintains its original list format: a simple list of books all on one page. Visitors are not bombarded with what their "friends" are doing or silly quotes and games. It's always about reading books that we love.
