One Book Many Quests
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?

Book(s) of the Month(s) 📚
Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!
HRCYED 3.0 x Pagebound Quests (Covers Edition)
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 I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

So, here's a list of books (ALL GENRES!) set in or largely featuring restaurants or cafes! Please comment your recs to help me find more great books and lengthen the list!
