Recs if you like All the Dangerous Things...
yea that’s a thriller
no matter what happens, there will be books with neon-text-on-a-dark-background covers and they will be thrillers.
Book(s) of the Month(s) 📚
Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!
Mysteries and Thrillers
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 💕
I can't remember the title, but the cover is blue
Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.
And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?
Thrillers that actually have different plots 😅
If you’re here, like me you might be tired of basically seeing the same plots and storylines over and over. This is a list of ones I’ve enjoyed that are all (mostly) different from each other*. Main thing in common might be the author.
*Can’t guarantee there aren’t similar types of twists/reveals lol.
behind closed doors: domestic thrillers
sometimes the secrets buried under family relationships and everyday routines are unearthed and it goes poorly for everyone involved
And Just When They Thought They Got Away With It
So I LOVE the show Cold Case (ilysm Lilly Rush/Scotty Valens). Cold case mystery/thrillers live in that unsettling space where justice failed the first time, and the world moved on as if the truth didn’t matter. These stories, like the show, return to those forgotten crimes years, even decades later, when a detective, journalist, podcaster, or relentless outsider decides to dig deeper. #tacklingunfinishedbusiness #coldcases
Novel Another Podcast, ugh
Podcasts! Podcasters! True Crime elements (but, you know, in fiction)! (Formerly called "Novels With Podcasters" until @mariangello came up with this brilliant title). Also see Influencers in Fiction
made you look! red herrings
red herring: 1. a dried smoked herring, which is turned red by the smoke. 2. a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting. these will make you go on a fishing expedition, if you will. this list will feature books highlighting the second definition.
Should Every Thriller Have a Podcast?🎙️🩸
The jury is still out, but these thrillers with podcast elements are officially in…this list.
In Search of the Moon
For when you are in the mood for a little moonlight. Highly rated books that place the moon in the title, on the cover, or at the heart of the story.
Religious Trauma
Books we read for June's theme, plus some I've already read that I think fit the theme
