Recs if you like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe...

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

i love when animals get the chance to yap and/or narrate their own stories :)

recommendations welcome!

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

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

Books of the millennial reader's childhood (not just scholastic book fair). Sticking with chapter books, and not picture books :) All books pre-2005 Taking recs!

books that feature an animal (real & fantastical alike) as a side character, companion, or a pet!

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 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?

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Crafted list of witchy books; made specifically for your looks. Pick one out and read it through; but careful that your heart stay true. Keep your wits lest you fall under spell; though knowledge gained will make you power-fell. Each book contains what you long to find; be it magic, coven, familiar, broom, or all in kind. So please enter and choose where you start; just be so kind as to leave a heart. Happy Castings!

Short books that you can read in a sitting, to help you achieve your yearly reading goal 🤭🥳 Feel free to mention anything else from the list, I'm so glad to add & check them out 😁

Here you’ll find a multitude of children’s books featured in the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, which, if you’re unfamiliar, heavily features a children’s bookstore called The Shop Around the Corner. Nothing brings me joy quite like children’s literature and 90s nostalgia, so I have painstakingly studied the shelves featured in the film to bring this list to life. I hope that at least one book here unlocks a nostalgic memory for you, or at least conjures a smile of recognition.

A challenge to read all books mentioned or referenced in the American TV Show, Gilmore Girls. Books are referenced by all characters in the show. The Mojo Collection, dictionaries, instructional books, and travel books will not be included in the list.

Happy reading!

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)

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!

🎶 Come, little children, I take thee away / into the land of enchantment 🎶 that nostalgic feeling when you were a child and you could see glimpses of a new fantastical world of magic and wonders basically a collection of stories where children and teens discover a new world with hidden dark undertones which also includes BIPOC/LGBTQ+ representation
