Recs if you like Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone...

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! 🤠

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

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

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!

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 with weird, strange, absurd, or just hilarious titles Please comment your own suggestions

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 💕

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

A list of 100 australian books from a variety of genres, not the same 10 boring white men. adding my lists from fable (Flag emoji for search visibility purposes)

Some good books I've read that center heavily around the dynamics and relationships between siblings, especially in larger families

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

Southern Hemisphere reads!! we will be running an unofficial SH season readalong, and our Spring readalong book is Wale Rider (1/9-30/11)! this is for any books written by SH authors, especially those set here, so pop your fav recs in the comments 😁 (i haven't read all of these! so double check content warnings if you need to)

Inspired by Wake Up Dead Man (the newest Knives Out installment), I decided to make a list of Locked Room Mysteries.

Compiled based on personal interests and various blogs.

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

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.

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)

Suspense & Thrillers
