Recs if you like A Deadly Education...

Books that are part of 3 or more quests ✨for easier planning! Initially thought of making this on my shelf, hope the members of pb find this helpful!! (The list is incomplete, I'm working on checking & adding new quest books🙌🏻 thanks for the love ❤️🥹)

Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.

For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone

Suggestions always welcome in the pursuit of women's rights and women's wrongs! For the terrible women in science fiction and fantasy who are gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing their way to the top, using any and all tools at their disposal—the more war crimes, the better. These women are generally characterized as ruthless, cunning, scheming, manipulative, and as all around horrible people.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Many of these are the beginning of series, but all of them are about academics in fantasy settings. All cross genres are welcome.

books featuring or set in magic schools / universities / academies, aka, one of the best subgenres in existence !

this list has books for all ages (am actively looking for more adult options), most of the books are dark academia, and ALL of them are fantastical 🪄 recs welcome <3

(alternatively, books to fall in love with & share with others to help avoid supporting or promoting JKR. i will never shut up ab how the Nevermoor series deserves the popularity that Harry Potter enjoys !)

As a tall-ish girl myself, every time I come across an FMC who is described as tiny, I yearn a bit more for some tall FMC representation — we can be love interests too! 🥹😍 So I made this list of (mostly romance and fantasy) books with a tall FMC. Whether she is taller than her partner, or they are somehow EVEN TALLER than her, all is welcome here 🫶

I haven’t read every single book on this list, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. More book recs super appreciated!!! 🤍

Maybe the people are magical, maybe the library is. Maybe these aren’t as fictional as they seem.

Recommendations encouraged!

A collection of stories about women whose obscure knowledge, forbidden studies, forgotten traditions, or relentless curiosity become the thing standing between the world and disaster.

books with covers that look like another

Books where there is a strong female friendship in a Fantasy book.

Do you love collecting tiny shiny objects (badges)? These books will count towards THREE quests, helping you collect all the shiny objects!

A woman's place is in the revolution. Featuring magical/gifted women who disobey the powers that be and rage against the machine.

inspired by a post about how tall Dr. Carlsen (The Love Hypothesis) is, here’s a list of canonically tall characters, some may not be human😈

as always, taking any & all suggestions!

The top 100 fantasy novels according to the r/fantasy list as voted on by the community - this includes series (represented by the first book in the series) and standalones.

The list is in order with Middle Earth ( represented by Lord of the rings) being number 1 going down to the 100th.

(Note: Mistborn is position 8 while Cosmere is position 35 - as Mistborn is within the Cosmere I lumped it in with the 35th position so it is lower down than on the original list)

Ever felt overwhelmed by Quests? Well, we currently (August 1st 2026) have over 100 of them, totaling 4000+ different books. Ofc you’re overwhelmed.

Whether you’ve already worked through the ones on top, or just want more of a challenge, here I’m giving you a list of every book on Pagebound that’s in 3 Quests. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful. NB: Time limited Quests not included. Too much upkeep, sorry.

Enjoy, and happy questing

fiction books with a main character or prominent side character that fits the D&D Wizard class! here for the studying ancient magical texts, the hurling fireballs left and right, the trying to seem like the wisest of your orb-pondering buds! recs and input welcome!

Fiction books that have a character who knits or crochets ✨ So beware, these people have needles and know how to use them 🧶⚔️ (pls imagine the swords as two crossed knitting needles, and yes we really should have that as an emoji)

At this point I am not sure if yarn really is cheaper than therapy, buuuut it is still fun and great for stress relief, and I love coming across characters who share a hobby with me 😍
