Remember to breathe, damnit!
Books where someone, at some point, lets out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. I fully intend to update this every time I come across this line, but let me know which ones are missing in the comments!
Closed door/Clean Books
These books contain little to no spice🩷 Double checked by me, fellow reviewers, & romance.io, but if there's still a mistake, please do correct! Only 1 book per author
mystery but make it ya🫣🧐
mystery and thriller books that are ya but perfect for adults
Teenage Sleuth Chronicles, Girls edition
Inspired by theaisreading and my love for teenage detectives and crime stories, I need a list which collects them all. Whether it’s missing secrets or suspicious suspects, these young, sometimes unintentional, detectives are always one step ahead and rarely play by the rules. From cozy to high stake. We don't judge. Feel free to recommend books I've missed and you like!

teenagers solving mysteries ! (if it's a series, only the first one is added)

Books that cause my family to worry about me

There are too many snakes on this 💥💥 shelf
Only one rule: there is a snake on the cover. It doesn’t have to be a specific genre, it doesn’t have to be a specific age group, it doesn’t even need to be a good book.
Bonus points if it’s the original book snake!
Mystery with a Romance Subplot
