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!

Stories that feature DC, Maryland, or Virginia. (Statehood for DC!)

Based on my favorite podcast Rereading the Revolution. The hosts reread and recap popular 2000s-2010s novels from Divergent to Looking for Alaska.

This is a list with fictional dictatorships, that might be placed in the real world or in a fictional world. They all count as long as the regime in power was invented.

The government wouldn’t do that….. This will of course include the booktok hits and a few more niche recommendations based on what I’ve read

a list of books that will feed that dystopian hunger.
