I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!

Why You Should Read More Duologies

This post was originally published in February 2021. It has been updated with 15 fantastic duologies.

15 Awesome Duologies That Will Totally Hook You by The Espresso Edition cozy lifestyle and book blog

Duologies were made for you if you’re looking for more than a standalone novel but less than a series.

Prior to joining bookstagram, I had never even heard the term “duology.” I had no clue there was a name for a two-book series, or even that they existed in the first place. I was fully aware of trilogies and longer series. Of course, I also knew about standalone novels. When I discovered how duologies could pack a huge punch without an endless number of books, I was fascinated! I immediately started searching for new titles to read.

Over the last few years, I’ve picked up some great duologies and in this article, you’ll find fifteen of my top picks. One of my all-time faves, All the Stars and Teeth, is featured in these photos! There are so many incredible high-seas adventures jam-packed into those two books. They’re so captivating that you’ll fly straight through them!

In this list, you’ll notice almost entirely YA SFF, because that is the genre that seems to have the most by way of duologies. However, I did include a couple of adult picks that I really enjoyed as well. Whether you’re a veteran sci-fi/fantasy reader or you’re new to the genres, you’ll find something to enjoy in these duologies.

Haha! I relate to that. I hadn’t heard of it prior to bookstagram but now I know why it’s so popular. It’s lots of story without as many books, which is especially nice for someone who doesn’t like to stick with a super long series. I think you’d really like American Royals!

For some reason, I always thought duologies were practically non-existent. I could think of a few, but for the most part, books seem to come in trilogies or bigger. But seeing this list proves me wrong. I like the idea of duologies because they finish the story fairly quickly. I did try to read Strange The Dreamer but just couldn’t get into the first book enough to finish it. I’m going to have to make an effort to read some of these, especially the Gumiho duology by Kat Cho, which I have been eying for a while now.

Well, I’m happy to prove that original theory wrong with this list! And I know this is only scratching the surface with how many excellent duologies actually exist. I’m bummed that you couldn’t get into Strange the Dreamer. That one captured my attention from the moment it started – but everyone has different tastes. The Gumiho books are great! They’re so unique.

I’d never heard the term duology either! I should check some of these out. I’m currently on book 2 of a trilogy (Shift in the ‘wool’ series by Hugh Howey) and after that I should move on to a duology!

I always a fan of duologies or trilogies more than a series (but it depends on the story actually). American Royals has been on my list to read! Thanks for sharing this Steph x

It definitely depends on the books, but trilogies have always been my top pick as well! Duologies are really great because it’s even more story with even fewer books. They’re great when I don’t have a ton of time to commit to reading.

I haven’t heard of these books before. I am wanting to read more this year as I think I only read one book last year (I think!) how terrible is that? I just put other things in front of reading to relax. I have some great books and got 2 new books for my 30th birthday last week so I am excited to read more and discover new books. Thank you for sharing.

Oh wow! None of them? I’m so surprised by that, but simultaneously I’m thrilled to introduce some of them to you! Some people don’t enjoy reading as much, so that’s alright, but I do hope you’re able to get to some titles you like this year!

I loved Ready Player One – but didn’t enjoy Two at all. I didn’t enjoyed American Royals so but inclined to pick Majesty. Rest are all new to me and I will check them out.

That’s a huge bummer to hear. I’ve been looking forward to it. My husband doesn’t enjoy fiction at all, but he loved the first one, so we have plans to enjoy the second one on audiobook together. The funny thing about American Royals is that I LOVED the first book, but the second one wasn’t my favorite. It was just a good duology overall, so I knew I wanted to include it πŸ™‚

I had never heard the term duology until very recently either. A single book that followed a previous tome was just…a sequel! But I guess it makes sense in the grand scene of series and trilogies to have a specific word for a series that’s only two books.

I haven’t read many duologies so this is a great starting point!

I mean, they still are sequels, but they’re also the finale book and I love that. It’s so fun to have a two-book series that is so much story in so few books!

I love a good duology! I would HIGHLY recommend Incarceron and Sapphique by Catherine Fisher. These two books are so intricate, beautifully written, and creative. If you haven’t checked them out yet, I would absolutely recommend doing so. Those are two of my most favorite books that I’ve read in a long, long time.

Also, just wanted to say that your blog is GORGEOUS. πŸ™‚

Ooh I love this! So many of these are on tbr; both of the Grishaverse duologies have been on there for so long now, and I’m thinking this year will be the one where I finally get to them! I’m really excited for Six Crimson Cranes, A Song Of Wraith And Ruin and We Hunt The Flame too, haha. Thank you so much for sharing such a great list x

I just LOVE this topic here and to be honest as much as I love series, there is something so unique about a dulogy. Its actually my favorite because it offers a lot of depth to a relationship. Sometimes Standalones just don’t satisfy me enough (which is why I read series more often haha). I haven’t read any of the one’s that you listed, however, I just read adult romance which is probably why. But I have heard of many of these, and I am glad to know that you enjoyed so many of these.

Happy Reading!

I pinned this so I can refer back to it – so many great suggestions! I love a long series (currently reading the Dragon Blood series – which if you haven’t read i highly recommend, I feel like it’s right up your alley!) but it’s got like 9 books and it’s nice sometimes to have just 2 books to get resolution to a story line.

I didn’t know the term “duology” until I joined Bookstagram either! So many of these are on my list and there are a couple that I just need to get to the “duo” part and read the next book LOL. I love this list!

I love duologies…I understand why fantasy books are often in trilogies or series (hello, worldbuilding), but honestly it’s nice to find a good standalone or duology. Currently I have the Six of Crows duology sitting on my bedside table, borrowed from a friend. Sadly I haven’t made time to read it yet, but one day!

Have you read the These Hollow Vows trilogy by Lexi Ryan? It involves the fae. It’s YA, but in the upper age range. I finally bought the second book to finish it this year.

Same here! Before bookstagram, I didn’t know of the term “duology”. I really like reading duologies because sometimes I can’t commit to a series because of how busy I am, but also, I do not like reading standalones as I might be too attached to characters or the world they’re in. πŸ™

I’ve yet to complete the Six Crimson Crane duology (the second book is sitting on my shelf and staring at me!)

I’ll have to remember to come back to this list as lately I’m just not into starting trilogies or series of books. It’s such a commitment! And I feel like the only person sometimes who hasn’t read any of Bardugo’s books outside of the Shadow and Bone trilogy. I’ll read them one day!!

I certainly felt that about a few of the books I read this past month, but especially:
πŸ«– The Tea Dragon Society - this entire MG graphic novel trilogy just warmed my heart so much. It's precious and wonderful and if you haven't read it, please do because you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
πŸ” Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers - within the first couple of chapters, I was belly-laughing so hard I was crying. This was hilarious and adorable and I didn't want it to end. I immediately began recommending it to everyone. 
⛱️ Happy Place - because of course! I mean, this book did make me sob my eyes out multiple times, but it also made me belly laugh more than once as well. It was perfect in every way and very quickly became my second fave of Emily's books (just after PWMOV)!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
