Listening Is Reading
When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.






Quest Thirst ๐ฆ (150+ Books under multiple quests)
Books that are part of 3 or more quests โจfor 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 books๐๐ป thanks for the love โค๏ธ๐ฅน)






an ongoing lesbian / sapphic masterlist (2300+)
Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.
Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.
Welcoming suggestions<3






Quest busters pt. 1
For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone






books your pretentious friend has heard of






All the lesbian books I can find
All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment โค๏ธ






Blending Memoirs with Research, Poetry, Culture
Books that are part memoir part another genre: in a way that blends multiple mediums and/or themes in unique and engaging ways. Magical, explosive and memorable narratives expressed with creativity and depth. Books that inspire me to write more.






Lucy Dacus Recommendations ๐
Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.






Nonfiction that's actually fun to read
These are some of my favorites and books I want to read--nonfiction that reads like fiction or is otherwise compelling. If you're intimidated by books on history, science, memoir, or other subgenres in nonfiction, start here.






Horror ๐ซฑ๐ฝโ๐ซฒ๐ฝ Non-Fiction
Non-fiction about horror, those is the horror industry, horror-adjacent subjects, and down-right terrifying books.






sapphic books for litfic girls
my personal wlw library soโฆ a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically






audiobooks 5 hours & under!
as we approach the end of the year, i thought of compiling a collection of short audiobooks for anyone trying to sneak more books onto their read list or for those trying to complete reading challenges! best of luck! ๐






Ergodic & Odd Formatting Strictly- (W/ NOTES by me)๐ ๐
Iโve seen lists, but not one strictly about Ergodic/odd formatting where itโs vital to read the e/physical because of the formatting and/or text โnon inclusive of illustrated versions, and just adding non-vital images, etc.
These are the books where if you donโt read the physical (maybe the ebook) youโre MISSING something VITAL to the experience.
I often read audiobooks and donโt know Iโm missing out ๐ซ
PLS recommend W/ explanation (& avoid spoilers) & feel free to argue cases!!
Examples & notes in comments!!!






Hey You!
Books written in or featuring 2nd person POV






back through the wardrobe
Fantasy nonfiction, or books about the nature of the fantastic (and the lives of some of its most ardent devotees) for those of us who'd like to leave the comfort of our Hobbit holes and brave the literary wilderness.






High Femme Fiction
pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 curating the personality of my aspirations (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)






Mixed Perspectives Books
These books utilize first person, second person, and third person perspective- ideally all three but books with some combination of the three are also included.






letโs do the time warp again!
these books explore queer space and time, rejecting hetero temporality and spatiality across fiction, non-fiction, drama, and poetry. inside, youโll find genderqueer immortals, spirits dipping in and out of linear reality, and queer meditations on bodies and aging. recommendations, as always, are very much welcome.

audiobooks where the narrator is the author! any book goes, no matter the genre. there may be multiple versions of the audiobook, but at least one version has the author as narrator. please suggest more in the comments!
