The Curio Cabinet: The Symbolic, Strange & Surreal
Not all collections hold things you can touch. This one holds worlds that breathe, selves that dissolve, and realities that refuse to hold their shape. These are the fictions that live on the edge of what language can contain - and sometimes just beyond. Admission is free, through entry requires a signed waiver: the curator cannot be held responsible for any transformations that occur upon your exit. We welcome specimen recommendations!

Pagebound-coded books
A list of books that embody the kindness, joy, and community, along with the curiosity for radical justice, deep analysis, and deconstruction of systems of oppression that I see on this platform. In honor of PB’s birthday (Aug 13, I've been told)! I welcome everyone to leave a book + their explanation for why they feel it embodies PB energy in the comments; there’s no right or wrong answer, I would love to see everyone's perspectives!






French Literature Final Boss
=== Stable! ===
Based on my original post on having quests for French Literature, I made starter packs (check my profile 👀) but I'm thinking we just need a big dump! Thanks to everyone participating!
This list covers books across time by French authors (as in people that have the nationality no matter their origins) and can hopefully incentivize crossovers with the Francophonie mon amour list!
Check comments to see how I diversified the list!






very explicitly NSFW
books where workplaces or locations are not compliant with osha standards or they become not compliant with osha standards during the events of the book disclaimer: whether or not these are actual osha violations is unknown but they are osha violations in my heart please don't arrest me mister us government






weird romance/erotic books
If I had a nickle for every time a book about milk and minotaurs ended up on my TBR because of book social media, I’d have 2 nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.
This is dedicated to the weird AF romance/erotic books I’ve come across.
erotic ≠ smutty (necessarily) it just may be erotically charged (ie Lobster)
submissions welcome
//PLEASE CHECK TW BEFORE READING ANY OF THESE BOOKS - READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION//






books insufferable people claim to have read
puts beret on a jaunty angle ‘why yes i went to Oxbridge and go skiing on my holibobs with papa, why do you ask?’ takes a hit of tobacco flavoured vape, puts asterisk in margin of the obscure classic i’m ‘reading’
the list for people who want to look ‘well read’ and need some books to name drop - look no further
if you have read them, more power to you, but this is explicitly about the people who claim to have read them but can’t read instructions on pasta






Let them read lobster ! 🦞
With all the lobster talk going on, @Babygotbooks inspired this list, by giving it an awesome title. Lobsters are somewhat important parts of these books, whether being used as a metaphore, character, food or something else 😉. It varies wildly in genre, going from murder mystery, to children book, to essays, to weird smut. (recs always appreciated) I also made a same themed shelf with only french lit if you're interested. Hope you enjoy !






light of my life, fire of my loins - obsessions
books featuring obsession, from the light-hearted and quirky to the dark and twisted






palate cleansers
quick reads under 150 pages that are a little unconventional and not too dense, but will still fire up your brain!! to ward off a reading slump and refresh your palate.






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.






wlb (weird little books)
weird little books you can read in one sitting






Absurdist fiction for the end of the world.
Because if I don’t laugh I’ll cry. The more absurd the better, and suggestions welcome.






body hair got removed
books where body hair gets removed through a variety of means and for a variety of reasons.
(and sometimes i’m emo about it 🤧🤧)
recs are welcome!






Has ridiculous premise, leans hard into it
Books that hinge on a completely ridiculous premise and then they go hard and make the absolute most of it. Sometimes with way more emotional depth than you'd expect.






🦞not only lobster🦞
books, both fiction and non-fiction that tell the story of the one and only unsinkable titanic (sunk in: 1912) recs are always welcomed!
