That's Not a Fall Out Boy Song??
I've fallen back into my Fall Out Boy era, so was inspired to make a list of books with titles that sound like they could be early Fall Out Boy Songs.
This list is purely subjective and doesn't take into account anything about the book other than the title.
As always, open to suggestions! 🤠






In which the title is comically long
We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗






It's a (Modern) Mystery!
Like Agatha Christie but in the modern world. Please leave recommendations!






oh no step-detective, i'm stuck!
stuck on an island, snowed in, on a boat, aboard a moving train... this list is crime fiction -mostly murder mysteries- in which the characters are stuck in an isolated location and cut off from the outside.
disclaimer: i haven't read all of these so lmk if a book doesn't fit, and feel free to leave suggestions in the comments!






sick day: easy reads for when you’re low on spoons
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!






**Spoiler Alert**
Books with titles that give away major plot points of the story. You’ve been warned of spoilers ahead.

Murder, but make it awkward.
Funny or darkly comic murder books featuring bungled plans, accidental deaths, bizarre families, amateur sleuths, incompetent criminals or people who are just having the worst day imaginable.






the irreverent sarcasm and/or satire runs deep
books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above
(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)






And now for the twist..... (cue dun dun dun music)
Suspense & Thrillers






cozy mysteries
