Recs if you like The Fellowship of the Ring ...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

I've noticed most fantasy lists are saturated with YA and romantasy books, but some of us crave adult high-stakes adventures. If you enjoy epic stakes, deep characters, and majestic world-building (without the distraction of romance) this list is for you. For series, I've only added the first book. 📖

SFF with worldbuilding that informs the plot, prose, characters, and underlying narrative in deeply meaningful, intentional, and complex ways, so much so that changing the world means changing the shape of the story itself. Or: worldbuilding that goes beyond simple set dressing and becomes a vehicle for the story and narrative. Always open to recs and suggestions! ❤️

For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again ❤️

This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.

Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.

A list of every book Rory Gilmore is seen reading in the series ‘Gilmore Girls’

Just a fun little list of books that have inspired songs. Please list the book and the song with the artist in your suggestions, or if it's a concept album based on a book, just include the book and the album with the artist. I will not be including any books by JKR, Neil Gaiman, or Orson Scott Card, or songs by Iced Earth. Will not be adding musicals based on books, songs written for films based on books, or songs that are classic poems to music.

All sorts of magic including - Wizards, warlocks, druids, alchemists, etc…

I took a very large take, and I hope you’ll enjoy!! 😊

For series, I only put the first book.

Recommendations are very welcome!! 🥰

Books where the main characters have to travel a seemingly long distance to achieve their goals/quests. Travel is not exclusive to walking, this list also includes long distance travel by car, boat, train, and even spaceship!

As always, open to suggestions! 🙂🤠

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Books for those who want to be well-read without the debt (created by someone with said debt)

Note: I will be deleting my PB account within the next two weeks, and I believe this list will be erased. Feel free to screenshot it if you see anything that interests you! ☺️ 3/17/2026

Penguin asked its readers in 2022 for the must-read classics. This is that list!

ANTI: fascism, ai, nfts, Big Tech, billionaires, surveillance states, optimization, algorithms, bot farms, technofeudalism, enshittification, exploitation, extractionism, planned obsolescence PRO: organized labor, punk, analog, solidarity, free speech, friction, degrowth, experimentation, right to privacy, right to repair, diy, material process, mutual aid, ecological living, the human hand, the human mind

*Short stories welcome. Looking for nonfiction? Check out The Big Bad Luddite List.

This list gathers over 300 books mentioned or read on the show so you can sip coffee, order in, and read along with Rory Gilmore and the other Stars Hollow residents.

Not all those who wander are lost -J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord Of the Rings Books featuring characters who wander from place to place, characters with a wanderlust spirit, or those whose home is on the road. Suggestions welcome!!
