Austen Inspired
Books that adapt, retell, and pull inspiration from Jane Austen's works.






I'm not trapped here with you...
... You're trapped here with me! The format: A group of people (could be strangers, or long-lost friends) are gathered or trapped in an isolated place together. Maybe it's a remote island. Maybe a cozy cabin during a blizzard. Someone is killed. The killer is obviously among them, but who?! Submissions welcome because this is my favourite mystery sub-genre at the moment, and I can't wait to discover more!






First Book in Cozy Mystery Series
The starters for cozy mystery series with fun and unique themes, amateur sleuths with niche-specific jobs and hobbies, adorable animal companions (or supernatural beings), small towns with close-knit communities, may or may not include tasty recipes, and generally just some fun romp mysteries!






couldn't have happened to a nicer guy (or gal)
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.

Favorite Pride and Prejudice Adaptations
You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.






if books were a season: fall edition
books iβve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall
no rhyme or reason, just β¨vibesβ¨
**iβm including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc
