Books in Disguise

Curated Mystery Books & Thoughtful Surprises


Books in Disguise is Jennifer’s love letter to serendipity and the magic of a well-chosen book.

Here, readers (or gift-givers) answer a few simple questions about themselves or their intended recipient—things like interests, mood, favorite themes, or reading preferences. From there, Jennifer carefully curates a surprise book selection, choosing a title that fits the answers while keeping the identity of the book a mystery.


Each book is:

  • Wrapped and disguised to preserve the element of surprise
  • Paired with thoughtful, themed add‑ons—interesting extras that complement the book and reflect the details shared
  • The result is a deeply personal, joyful experience that feels part gift, part adventure, and part secret waiting to be uncovered.




The Sleuthory Blog

A Travel & Discovery Blog for Curious Minds


Sleuthory blends the spirit of a sleuth with the heart of a story.

This blog is dedicated to discovering the world—near and far—through a lens of curiosity and narrative.


At Sleuthory, Jennifer writes about everything worth uncovering, including:

  • New towns and hidden corners
  • Independent bookstores and unexpected reads
  • Board games, puzzles, and interactive experiences
  • Mysteries (both literal and literary)
  • Restaurants, cafés, and places with a story to tell
  • Whether it’s a tucked‑away street, a clever game mechanic, or a book that demands investigation, Sleuthory approaches each subject as something to be explored, examined, and enjoyed like a good mystery.
