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.






cozy escapism
books that transport you into gentle adventures and charming worlds (with a side of life-altering epiphanies and self discoveries)






Quest Thirst ๐ฆ (100+ 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)






Hey! Who put their leftist politics in my fiction?

Each just for fun book comes with our guarantee: No real world political messages under the 100% fictional plot! ๐ (Taking Recommendations!)






Hopecore books
For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again โค๏ธ
This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.
Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.






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






the quiet side of tomorrow
Not all science fiction is laser battles and intergalactic warfare! This list is aiming for the softer side of sci-fi. The kind where the stars hum quietly, the characters pause to breathe, and discoveries are found within. โจ
Iโm attempting to cultivate a collection of books that are low stakes, cozy sci-fi, filled with found family, gentle exploration, and quiet wonder. ๐
If you have recommendations, please leave them in the comments! ๐

I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!

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.






Books with Ghibli vibes
Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films






That's Not a Fall Out Boy Song??
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! ๐ค
