Recs if you like Goldie Vance #1...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

Inspired by theaisreading and my love for teenage detectives and crime stories, I need a list which collects them all. Whether it’s missing secrets or suspicious suspects, these young, sometimes unintentional, detectives are always one step ahead and rarely play by the rules. From cozy to high stake. We don't judge. Feel free to recommend books I've missed and you like!

A list of (mostly) mystery books with sapphic main characters.

I included some books of other genres that have a strong mystery element.

if you want to work on your HRCYED 3.0 Periodic Table prompt and the amazing quests on Pagebound then this list is for you (and inspired by my own status as a badge gremlin). all the books should be in at least one quest per July 31st 2026.🧚‍♀️

Elements represented are: Radium Iron Gold Silver

a list of books about 'girl detectives'. for this list i specifically mean characters that are children or teenagers, not just female detectives.

now get that spyglass, sneak into that house and crack that code because the game is ON!

On the quest to collect badges, sometimes you just need a shorter read for a palate cleanse. I made this list as a resource for quicker reads in between heavy hitters - all books listed below are 1) included in at least one PageBound quest and 2) are 200 pages or less. Any and all leads are welcome!

Please note: This will not include books only found in readalongs or limited quests, as I want this list to reflect books that satisfy always-available quests.

A list of non-erotic graphic novels with queer protagonists or queer relationships that don't hinge on anybody dying or being killed.

Are you bored? Do you need a fun, exciting, easy-to-read and/or random book to ignore your TBR and start reading right away? Reference this list!

Suggestions welcome 🙏

There are a lot of quests out there, and there are a lot of great graphic novels (and comics) in said quests. Here's a complete list (in progress) of all the graphic novels and comics that count toward quests!

Please send any I miss :)
