Crimes committed by movie studios against amazing books. “The book walked, so these movies could trip and fall down the stairs” - JadeLovesBooks ✨

Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

Books that feel like they could be adapted into a Studio Ghibli movie or have similar vibes to specific Ghibli films

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

Bring on those Gen Y memories! A list of books likely to give people born between 1981 and 1996 a lot of feelings.

This list is for those of us who grew up eagerly awaiting the Scholastic Book Fair, watching Reading Rainbow (or Wishbone!), and dreaming of a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

Note: these are not books published in 1981-1996, but books that had a hold on the millennial generation.

Also check out the Dear America series, American Girl series & Royal Diaries series.

Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!

A list of books that have been adapted into musicals. + more (all musical related)

Books that have been adapted into or inspired musicals

books that remind me of my Gen Z childhood, not necessarily books published 1997-2012. feel free to leave recs in the comments!

From the light-hearted, to the silly, to the thought-provoking. Genres ranging from contemporary, to historical fiction, to fantasy.

The books your teacher made you read between the ages of 11-14. They changed the way you saw the world, they made you realize books were more than just goofy or sentimental stories you gobbled up before bedtime, and they stuck with you, all these years later.

Suggestions welcome, especially from non-American readers!!

Note: this list was made by a Millennial, so I'd love to hear from some different generations! What did your teachers assign you?

Every book recommended by members of the band (except for the one that must not be named). Most of these were recommended by Lucy Dacus. If you are sitting on more books which any member of the band recommended, please hit me up and I will update the list!

Audiobooks narrated by actors who appear in a TV or film adaptation of the book too

PageBound users have mentioned these titles as books/series they gravitate towards during rough times. Some are here because readers enjoyed them during childhood and go back to that for a sense of calm, while others just give general cozy vibes.

Pair with "Level 5 – American History, Part 1" book.
