Recs if you like All the Light We Cannot See...

All of his picks since 2008, both summer reading lists and yearly round-ups.

I've fallen back into my Fall Out Boy era, so was inspired to make a list of books with titles that sound like they could be early Fall Out Boy Songs.

This list is purely subjective and doesn't take into account anything about the book other than the title.

As always, open to suggestions! 🤠

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

A librarian's favorite response to asking what book a patron is looking for...

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!

this is for aesthetics only

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

A mix of reader favorites and editorial picks from The New York Times—100 books that defined the 21st century.

You've built up your skills as an engaged reader - now it's time to start reaping the benefits! Every book on this list was chosen because it's genuinely enjoyable AND hiding something underneath the surface worth finding. The goal isn't to find the "right" answer, but to trust your own instincts as a reader and see where that takes you. Start in your favorite genre - it makes close reading feel like a game, not homework. Happy Reading Boundlings!!

Books with short chapters!!! I started a challenge where I read a super long book a chapter-a-day and annotate it using a study guide! I found that annotating short chapters is super accessible and not overwhelming at all for me, so I wanted to share this list with anyone that wants to start over-analyzing their books :) I included a variety of stories because HOW you read is as important (if not more) than WHAT you read!!!!

(Most) Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winners since 1918!

NYT Top 100 of the 21st Century: Reader's Choice. In order as published in 2024

Amazing books that standalone! This list is made up of books that don’t have sequels, aren’t part of series, just single books that can be read and enjoyed in one go! I’m open to any suggestions about books from any genre!

A small selection of the over 2000+ banned books recently brought to the attention of Texas' Lt.

Aka my new reading list 💅 **Includes all the books I've read/on my TBR and other popular books, comment others if you want!!

WWII historical fiction. From everyday bravery to remarkable heroism, these characters and their stories remind us that everyone can be brave.

Credit to @startripper for the title (I don’t listen to the smiths :(

Novels with intriguing titles (that I read or that sound interesting) in English (either originally or translated); a mix of genres. Mostly 4+ words in the title, with some select 3-word-titles but no shorter ones. No parts of series except for the first book.

love sad books all day every day

Holocaust / world war 2 books about the stories of people inside the camps, in the resistance, or living their lives in occupied territory and similar stories
