Recs if you like The Thursday Murder Club...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

books whose main characters are older and disillusioned with life and go on a little adventure that melts their hearts (and heals yours)

For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again ❤️

This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.

Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.

Crimes committed by movie studios against amazing books. “The book walked, so these movies could trip and fall down the stairs” - JadeLovesBooks ✨

Like Agatha Christie but in the modern world. Please leave recommendations!

A collection of mysteries where the retirees, pensioners, and silver‑haired legends of small towns take crime into their own hands. Sometimes they are solving it, sometimes they causing it, and sometimes they might be doing a bit of both.

A list of cozy fiction for when the world is heavy and the Book Club book is too much.

Books are cozy based on other lists or cute-munity reccs. Your milage may vary.

Stories of the elderly misbehaving at astonishing rates! Murder, robbery, and fraud abound!

This list is typically focused on elderly protagonists that currently partake in crimes. I will consider books concerning elderly protagonists that committed crimes when they were younger and are dealing with the consequences later in life. Any and all crimes count, but preferential treatment is given to murder.

It’s a cruel irony that taking a sick day means being at home with nothing to do, but very little brain power with which to read.

Enter this list, a collection of books from various genres that don’t require too much brain power but are still GOOD. Accessible prose, storylines that aren’t overly convoluted, and often short chapters or frequent break points. And of course, easy to pick back up after dozing off!

Suggestions welcome!

Books to read when you want to solve murders without leaving the couch ~ a snug stack of cozy mysteries! ✨️☕️🕵‍♀️

wise, funny main characters in their golden years who solve crimes and murders! think the thursday murder club, a man on the inside, etc.!

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

I think more books should be about old people getting into shenanigans. There is this small part of the book space with the stories of people who find the meaning of their life or mess others up because they don't care anymore. These are their stories , hilarious, emotional, heartwarming and heartbreaking, each unique...

Hope they make you feel alive!

DJ, play the bridge of I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas 🗓️ these books all have, you guessed it, the days of the week in the title

books that were better on audio

basically every memoir is also going to be better on audio, especially if the author narrates it, but I have a separate list for those

cozy mysteries

books featuring retired characters or retirement/care homes, plus a dash of chaos to keep things exciting

recs welcome!

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

this has become one of my fav types of read, would love recs

mysteries and thrillers in which the victim high-key sucks. rest in pieces, shitheads! love to hate 'em, we will not miss them. disclaimer: while the list creator is a certified hater, in no way is the list creator or pagebound condoning or encouraging violence, even in situations when that person does, in fact, suck.
