Recs if you like Goddess of the River...

For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone

I couldnt find a list of these yet, so i made one! You may not be able to collect the badges anymore, but if you’re a completionist like me; here are all the books of the pagebound seasonal readalongs and the special event readalongs!

Fantasy inspired by Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and/or Afghanistan (myths, setting, etc.)

a smattering of different mythology & legend retellings

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.

Indian inspired/set fantasy and folklore. Crowd-sourced from an ask in the Asian-inspired Fantasy quest, so check that out too, but always open to suggestions ☺️ Mostly Desi authors, though not exclusively. I have yet to read any, so join me as I work my way through these (and thanks to everyone who suggested them 🤍)

Collection of all kinds of Indian novels- contemporary, fantasy, historical, mythological included. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

All genres of Fantasy written by South Asian authors specifically.

Women who are often background characters in the story, modern retellings that give voice to the women in folklore and mythology.
