Recs if you like The Name of the Wind...

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

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!

it happens to the best of us, you start reading a series that sounds so good and then at some point it just…stops, there’s no final book, no satisfying conclusion, nothing. sometimes this is a deliberate choice an author is making (cough, cough George!) or simply they could not complete the series due to life-altering circumstances.

as always, please drop any suggestions in the comments!!!

this is a collection of books that contain more stories within their stories, almost like an endless corridor of doors that lead to more doors or an infinite matryoshka doll
(always open to suggestions!!)

fiction books with a main character or prominent side character that fits the D&D bard class (at least partly). heavy on the harps, lyrics, and song! recs and input welcome!

Requirements:

1. The Mc(s) is a tricksters or unreliable narrator who spends most of the book lying to, bluffing or otherwise misleading others or themselves.

2. They would continue lying even if they didn’t have to either they can’t help it or enjoy the game too much.

3. This causes situations that get unpredictable, chaotic or even completely ridiculous as the characters dodge or face consequences for their actions.

A list of Fantasy books where the magic system is based off of music in some form

Times are tough… Here is a list of books that I was able to find as free audiobooks available on YouTube or Spotify!

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)

fantasy series that feature iconic duos or characters that complement one another and are a well-known pairing in their world.

fiction books with a main character or prominent side character that fits the D&D Artificer class. also features their creations! here for the tinkering, the magical device-making, the "i can make this thing drive"! recs and input welcome!

A fun collection of D&D like adventure books or after adventure stories

Unreliable narrator, my beloved (Fantasy edition)

30 of the best epic high fantasy books with the highest stakes, featuring richly detailed worlds, intricate magic systems, and immersive storytelling.

books with left handed or even ambidextrous characters or about being left handed. (make sure to celebrate on August 13th, as it's international left handers day)

fiction books that with a main character or prominent side character that fits the D&D Ranger class (at least pretty closely)! here for the roaming the wilds, the bow and arrowing, the tracking! recs and input welcome!

Locally sourced. Farm fresh. Organic. Cage free. 🤭From happy cows come happy eggs. Don’t ask questions. Everyone’s having a nice normal breakfast. Don’t make it weird.

Based on the HRCYED 3.0 prompt! Books with weather or natural disasters/phenomena on the cover (at least one version), including: rain, storms, lightning, clouds, snowfall, fog, sunshine, tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis.

Not an exhaustive list - feel free to suggest titles! I tried to keep it more focused on books that fit the prompt but would be harder to find (i.e. ones that don't have the key words in the title).
