Books in Riverdale

Description
An ever growing, evolving list of books & bookish media somehow referenced by Riverdale characters directly or indirectly. Shoutout to joneswuzhere & cinematicliterature on Tumblr for some real esoteric deep dives. Works I picked myself (with no direct references) are tagged as such in the explanation.
Créée à partir de la série
Riverdale (TV Show, 2017-2023)
