And just like that it’s Thursday. Read about reading with us.
While it’s not exactly a new phenomenon — there are books going back centuries that do this — it has been fun watching more fourth-wall-breaking books being published each day. Some of these books focus on playing with their given genre, like mystery or fantasy.
Today, you are going to read a list of nine books that break the fourth wall. The first few are works published before 2000 — a few were printed before 1900. The second segment is works published very recently. I hope you enjoy breaking the fourth wall with me and these books.

I was digging through Book Riot’s LGBTQ archive and found this 2023 post from CJ Connor: Books About Queer Elders Give Me Hope for the Future. So, today I’ve put together a list of books about queer people in their 60s and up, including memoirs, romance, fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, and a graphic novel. Despite all the progress that’s been made in queer books recently, it’s still pretty rare to see queer elders as the stars of their own stories, and I want to see a lot more!
