Recs if you like Outlander...

Books that are part of 3 or more quests ✨for easier planning! Initially thought of making this on my shelf, hope the members of pb find this helpful!! (The list is incomplete, I'm working on checking & adding new quest books🙌🏻 thanks for the love ❤️🥹)

Unsullied. Undefiled. Uninitiated. Untouched. Chaste. Pure. While the tired trope of virginal and inexperienced women abounds, particularly in historical romance but even in contemporary works, virginal men are much less common. With stories that can be refreshing and joyful, or not (lol), this list brings together heroes who’ve done little more than kiss. (Some of them haven’t even done that.) All romance sub-genres are included, except YA.

Here (and there and then) be time travelers!

Ever felt overwhelmed by Quests? Well, we currently (August 1st 2026) have over 100 of them, totaling 4000+ different books. Ofc you’re overwhelmed.

Ever wished there was a easy way to see the overlap of all the quests, so you could better strategize on where to start for max badge-achievement? Well, we don’t have that (yet?). But here I’m giving you a list of every book on Pagebound that’s in 4 Quests. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful. NB: Time limited Quests not included. Too much upkeep, sorry.

Enjoy, and happy questing

I think Pagebound quests should be enjoyed at your own pace, reading whatever piques your interest. That being said, here's a list of books that are included in multiple quests. This list is a work in progress and suggestions are welcome :)

books that are part of 3 or more quests, for those readers with a completionist streak within and a personal plague of Too Many Books, Too Little Time.

Do you love collecting tiny shiny objects (badges)? These books will count towards THREE quests, helping you collect all the shiny objects!

when “a love for the ages” goes literal, these romances bend time, break rules, and (mostly) spark joy in every timeline.

Do you love reading bricks?? Do you love when authors go on and on forever?? Then this list may be for you!

This list is for folks looking for a long book to dive into. All books in this list have more than 250,000 words in them!

As always, open to suggestions! 🤠

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

Fiction (and some non-fiction) across genres featuring plagues, poisons, palace physicians, healers, and pre-antibiotic chaos. If it involves herbs, plagues, questionable remedies, court intrigue, or a morally complex healer experimenting in the corner, I want it.

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 have a character who knits or crochets ✨ So beware, these people have needles and know how to use them 🧶⚔️ (pls imagine the swords as two crossed knitting needles, and yes we really should have that as an emoji)

At this point I am not sure if yarn really is cheaper than therapy, buuuut it is still fun and great for stress relief, and I love coming across characters who share a hobby with me 😍

...and I cannot lie.

Mammoth books over 800 pages!

Ceud mìle fàilte! ☆ Castles, Moors, Sìth and lochs and trees for as far as the eye can see! From fantasy, sci fi, crime, lit fic, horror, to non fiction, the Scots can do it all 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A small country with mighty good *authors and equally amazing books that deserve a spotlight!

*List mainly features authors who are Scottish but also some books by authors who may not be Scottish but their books are set in Scotland!

a list of the books that are in 4 quests

Books to read to get quest badges quicker. The books on this list can be found in 3+ quests (not counting limited-time event badges). Inspired by @AsiminaTriloba. Bring home the Badges!

Men in Kilts, Hotties in the Highlands, Hunky Highlanders, Scottish romance!

the main series, the Lord John books and every novella+companion in chronological reading order! from the bottom up

The two love interests are forced to get cozy sharing one saddle for part of their journey to their dismay and our absolute delight.

This list is for all spice levels. As a note this may not necessarily be a big part of the book as this is a microtrope. Recs welcome!
