Recs if you like The Moonstone...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

no matter where you live, we all see the same moon, even if it’s day, the moon is still there saying 🌝 so here is a list of a bunch of books with the word “moon” in the title

taking suggestions!

A list of 100 gothic classics which covers over 250 years of literature, from the high-drama castles of the 1700s to the psychological "New Gothic" of today.

Here's me keeping track of (most) of the books mentioned in this non-fiction adventure, for the good of all of us.

There is also a reading list at the back of the book, but I think I got them all.

"a novel written as a series of letters between the fictional characters of a narrative. The term is often extended to cover novels that intersperse other kinds of fictional document with the letters, most commonly diary entries and newspaper clippings, and sometimes considered to include novels composed of documents even if they do not include letters at all. More recently, epistolaries may include electronic documents such as recordings and radio, blog posts, and emails."

Every book depicted on PBS's Wishbone (1995–1997)

we have crime! we have thunderstorms! we have quicksand! we have romance sub plots! we have old timey investigators! we have some sexism and racism that definitely needs to be addressed by modern audiences…

Epistolary delivery: Books told in the form of letters, journals, diaries, texts, logs, etc...

I will update this list frequently! Recommendations welcomed.

books mentioned/quoted by Will and/or Tessa in Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices series (i added also the first book of the series to make it easier to navigate)

List of classics for those interested in the genre.

I love a great historical mystery series, but sometimes you want a one-and-done type tale. Historical applies to anything set in the 1990s and before.

my home county!

Called "the definitive library of mystery fiction". Howard Haycraft originally published the list in 1941 in Murder for Pleasure. It was updated and broadened by Ellery Queen. This is the final revision, including books from 1748 to 1952.

These books are historically significant because of their influence on the development of crime fiction, however books from these times often contain bigoted and otherwise offensive content.

I haven't read them all, or even a high percentage. I'm trying to keep track of how many on this list I read.

I could only find a Spanish language version of A Case to Answer by Edgar Lustgarten.

Behold: yet another of my 2 a.m. deep dives - this time into epistolary literature! The list starts with some of the earliest examples of the form and follows it into the present day, from stories told through letters and diaries to those built from emails, texts, transcripts, and other documents. Whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to this genre, what interests you most about it?

(A quick note: I put this list together using Wikipedia, blog posts, and Reddit threads. I did my best to keep everything in chronological order, but a few mistakes may have slipped through - it was 2 a.m., after all. If you have any suggestions on what else I should add, I’d love to hear it!)

Pretty specific to what I have left, but could be useful to you if you're doing HRCYED 3. If you have questions on what prompt something is going to just leave a comment.

For people who have English as their second language and wants to hone their powers to be able to read Sherlock's Victorian English.
