Books in Order: An Comprehensive Guide to Nicholas Sparks' Novels

Nicholas Sparks has spent nearly three decades writing emotionally direct romance and drama, starting with The Notebook in 1996. Several of his novels became major films — The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and Message in a Bottle among them — and he also created the concept for the ABC series The Watcher.

This guide runs all twenty-four of his books, from that 1996 debut through 2022's Dreamland — a body of work defined by plain, accessible prose and stories built to hit hard emotionally, regardless of the reader's age.
