Recs if you like A Midsummer Night's Dream...

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.

For when your PB friends share the same name(s) as a book character! (See pinned comment for master list! Please feel free to chime in if you want to be added and/or if you want a different book assigned to you; I didn’t want to step on toes and add people I haven’t really talked to without their permission ❤️ also my brain is smooth and I forget book character names all the time lol)

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

Let me know if you have any recommendations to add to this list!

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

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!

Inspired to create a list by a post from @mmyth, I thought it would be nice to have a list of quest books you can download and read for free via Internet Archive. Recommendations gladly accepted. Happy reading ya'll!

(Please note this will ONLY contain books found through Internet Archive and no other sources, I don't want to run into possible mistakes and copyright headaches.)

Update: This list will also include books you can borrow through Open Library, a part of Internet Archive. In addition, this will only show English-language availability.

A compilation of all plays for ease of access, even those with debatable authorship. In vaguely chronological order based off performance dates of plays per Shakespeare scholars (debates of chronology are a rabbit hole).

The children yearn for Shakespeare.

Created out of my love for Clueless, She’s the Man, and 10 Things I Hate About You specifically.

A compilation of the books and tales that inspired dance and ballet pieces across the world

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Non-exhaustive list of foundational reading for the fantasy genre; either foundational texts or classics that influenced the development of the genre and its conventions. Also some key modern texts + criticism.

Books referenced by name within the 15 books that make up the Men Loving Men in Literary Fiction Side Quest. I don't remember every single one, so please comment any I'm missing as you read the quest books!

bards, knights, freedom, and most importantly, wine. where do all these things find a home? mondstadt, the land of freedom in teyvat.

this list is based on the first region in the game genshin impact. books that feel light like the wind, are set in nature, have a medieval setting, or are based on folklore, all of them are welcome in this list. for fans and non-fans alike!

always open to suggestions and recommendations!

Books to reach for when you feel the itch to daydream about running through a dimly lit castle, followed by a shadowy presence, only to discover a dark forest stretching out before you.

because we gotta hit our reading goal 🫡 short books (around or under 200 pages) for when you need something in between longer reads or want to up your reading count 🥰 includes almost all genres and different age groups! and will definitely have some graphic novels because that’s my favourite way to speed through books hehe

(almost) every book in the game: tiny bookshop

"As it ever was, so it will be again."

aka you know there's gotta be a river, there's gotta be some obscure and complicated folklore, there's gotta be some sort of myth/historical reference or retelling.

All the stories from the bard and stories that he inspired- I definitely need recommendations for this one!!
