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!

short story collections by a single author in a variety of genres. recommendations welcome!

Why did i even read these???? why do i still think of them.

Bite-sized stories/collections for the slow reader

Fresh, original fantasy that makes me feel some type of way. Whether it be the characters, plot, writing style, or worldbuilding, these books stand out from the crowd as unique. Fantasy, and its many sub-genres, is highly saturated and at times it can feel like I'm reading the same story over and over again. This list is sure to surprise and delight even the most seasoned fantasy reader.

Short story collections that have an impact.

"Anyways, just for fun, I thought I would go to my bookshelf and just pull out a sampling of books that I have read written by women that I love that I can say I love without referencing another female writer who sucks." — Caro Claire Burke
