I'm sure lots of people can help me, because there are some difficult ones here :D

Knights and Paladins: One of the protagonists is a paladin or knight.
Does Black Sun Rising (volume 1 of Coldfire) by C.S. Friedman qualify?

High Fashion: Read a book where clothing/fashion or fiber arts are important to the plot. This can be a crafty main character or a setting where fashion itself is explored
Does Plein-Ciel by Siècle Vaëlban qualify?

Down With the System: Read a book in which a main plot revolves around disrupting a system.
OK this seems easy but I have nothing. Rec away!

Parent Protagonist: Read a book where a main character has a child to care for. The child does not have to be biologically related to the character.
Does Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon qualify? (Summary only says main character is pregnant as the story starts)

Epistolary: The book must prominently feature any of the following: diary or journal entries, letters, messages, newspaper clippings, transcripts, etc.
I have already read Dracula and Frankenstein and This is how you lose the time war, some other ideas? 19th century books welcome but not mandatory at all.

Biopunk: Read a book that focuses on biotechnology and/or its consequences.
I'm not sure I exactly get what it is. So recs will help

Elves and/or Dwarves: Read a book that features the classical fantasy archetypes of elves and/or dwarves. They do not have to fit the classic tropes, but must be either named as elves and/or dwarves or be easily identified as such.
I'm sure there's something right now, but I have forgotten. Elves don't need to be Tolkien-like, I'm taking fairies if they're called elves?
Does volume 1 of Keeper of the lost cities qualify? (my nephew is reading them)

Stranger in a Strange Land: Read a book that deals with being a foreigner in a new culture. The character (or characters, if there are a group) must be either visiting or moving in as a minority.
I'm sure I'm missing the obvious here. Preferably not isekai, but I can think about it if 1) it's very good, and 2) it's really a new land for the protagonist (they haven't read about it)
[Edit] Does When the angels left the old country by Sacha Lamb qualify?
