Whenever I see people’s bookshelves with their classic novels all matching because they bought them from the same collection, I’m always like “I WANT THAT” but then I look at my own classics shelf and I actually really like that I have different editions from various publishers. 

What about you guys? Do you like all your books to match? Or do you prefer your shelves to look varied and slightly messy? 

Sherlock Holmes pastiches by Lyndsay Faye 

@bubblesandpages​ and @bookanalogies​:

I’m not really sure what kind of books you’re interested in, but these are the ones I’ve read would recommend you guys check out. Some are fun, some are more serious. 

Mercy Thompson novels by Patricia Briggs - heavy on werewolves, but the main character is a coyote shifter who often ends up in dangerous situations and ends up solving crimes, usually in an effort to help her friends. (the books do deal with heavy topics, including sexual assault, so please proceed with caution).

The Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger - a lot more fun and lighthearted that Patricia Briggs, also heavy on werewolves and vampires. The main character has to solve a mystery of dying vampires to cover her own butt because people thing she’s at fault because she’s Soulless, and typically her kind being immune to supernatural charms are considered dangerous. 

White Trash Zombie series by Diana Rowland - starts off fun and then gets more serious. The MC is a loser drug addict who suddenly finds herself turned into a zombie and mysterious person is basically helping her adjust to a new life. There’s a serial killer on the loose. 

The Book of Night by Holly Black - her new book about shadow magic and thievery of magical books. 

Jane Jameson and the Naked Werewolf books by Molly Harper – very fun and romancy series, Jane becomes a vampire and has to solve a mystery to cover her own butt cause someone keeps murdering people, and Naked Werewolf is about werewolves and someone killing people. 

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo - the MC is a survivor of a mass homicide, has special abilities to see ghosts, attends Yale thanks to a mysterious benefactor with a task to monitor the secret societies. Very dark academia. 

If anyone has other suggestions, drop them in the comments.
