The average word count of a novel can vary depending on various factors such as genre, target audience, and author preference. However, a general guideline is that most novels fall within the range of 70,000 to 100,000 words. 1. Mystery and Thriller Genre: If you are a fan of thrilling suspense and mind-boggling mysteries, you might enjoy novels by popular authors such as Agatha Christie and Dan Brown. Some highly recommended novels in this genre include "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie and "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. 2. Romance Genre: For those who adore heartwarming love stories and passionate relationships, romance novels might be your cup of tea. Bestselling romance authors like Nora Roberts and Nicholas Sparks have enchanted readers over the years. If you're looking for recommendations, consider "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks and "Nights in Rodanthe" by Nora Roberts. 3. Fantasy Genre: Fantasy novels transport readers to enchanting realms filled with magic, mythical creatures, and epic adventures. J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series and George R.R.
