books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

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!

Books with neurodivergent MCs across various genres so you can find them in your favorite one.

Neurodivergent rep here includes autism, adhd, ocd or dyslexia. In addition the term neurodivergent also includes anyone who’s neurological processing works in a way that isn’t considered typical; such as various personality disorders, other sensory issues and depending on who you ask also depression, ptsd, and more. I’ve included all here when I find them.

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Here's me keeping track of (most) of the books mentioned in this non-fiction adventure, for the good of all of us.

There is also a reading list at the back of the book, but I think I got them all.

Books by Scottish authors, across genres. (Will not be including any JKR.) Dark crime, litfic, a bit of satire, fantasy, scifi & speculative fiction. Trying to include a mix of everything in here.

Recommendations welcome. 🫶

19th century (and a little early 20th) fiction about private detectives and clever con artists (or both!)

This is a list of (most) every book mentioned in the video game 'Tiny Bookshop'

When I started college, I quickly realised that I never read short stories. This list is reserved for the very best short story collections I've come across, both through my course and personal determination to change that! Short stories are a beautiful and satisfying form and amazing when you're stuck in a reading slump. They are also great inspo for writers like me to keep on their desk! All genres, please leave your recs in the comments!❤

Titles with full character's name. I haven't read all of those books, and I'm open to suggestions.

Books mentioned or quoted in The Secret History and books mentioned by donna tartt

A Hay Festival crowd-sourced selection of adult reading recommendations to celebrate the many joys to be found in fiction.

The books mentioned or alluded to in The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. If it’s a series, book 1 is listed unless a specific book was mentioned. Where just the author was mentioned, I’ve made my best guess.

Listed books/authors are NOT endorsements. Some authors/series are problematic, but I have chosen not to censor this list with one exception that, if mentioned in the book, shall not be named in this list.

Love these movies and making a list of books that capture a similar feel, any recs you have please send them through! ❤️ Ideally it has a great "who done it"/mystery plot, wit and some funny in there. Boycott friendly please 🙏
