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! 🤠

oh this list is so sick LMAOO i love it!!! all of these so sound like FOB titles

if you’re taking any suggestions, i think someone who will love you in all your damaged glory by raphael bob-waksberg would fit here!

this is great lmao, i'm giggling at You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty being on here because the author said it was inspired by a Florence + the Machine lyric!

May i submit Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone and One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This for consideration? hehe

OMG REALLY?!? that's actually such a funny little coincidence. I knew nothing of the book when I added it here.

Also, love those suggestions, I'll add them into the Not Fall Out Boy™️ discography!

Hilarious list concept! I would like to submit for your consideration:

The World Keeps Going, and the Works Keeps Ending by Franny Choi I have the Right to Destroy Myself by Yoon Ha Kim gas

Thank you, thank you!! 🥲🥲

Also, love the ideas, added to the discography!

love this concept + the genius of fall out boy song titles 😆 for your consideration: Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast by Oscar Wilde

Thank you and right, they're so great!!! Also, that is a wonderful suggestion, I'll add it shortly (might have to add it to tbr too)!! 🙂

Love this, they really do sound like FOB songs.

So happy to hear, I spent so long combing through lists of books 😅

i loveeee this list! i’ve always admired FOB’s and PATD’s song titles in my youth 🙂‍↕️

my suggestions would be: I Who Have Never Known Men, A Song to Drown Rivers, and If You Could See the Sun ✨

2

Same here! It's so funny though going back as an adult because I recognize the song titles, but could tell you NOTHING about what the song is until it's played

Also, those are wonderful suggestions, I'll add those 🙂
