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.
Un-be-leaf-able - planty fiction
Fiction books featuring plants as a major theme. For the purpose of this list, fungi are honorary plants! All fiction genres here (though I am primarily a fantasy reader, so suggestions most welcome!)
books that share hyper-specific titles with kpop
A list of books that share more specific titles with kpop songs. Kpop songs named after books count. See comments for kpop song and book title match-ups. Always open to suggestions!
Books Gone Broadway
Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

Penguin's 100 Must-Read Classics
Penguin asked its readers in 2022 for the must-read classics. This is that list!
Stardew Valley Vibes
Books that remind me of the game Stardew Valley! Coziness, cottage-core, and a hint of magic.
Free? In This Economy?
Times are toughโฆ Here is a list of books that I was able to find as free audiobooks available on YouTube or Spotify!
Chasing That Studio Ghibli Feeling
Books that feel like they could be adapted into a Studio Ghibli movie or have similar vibes to specific Ghibli films
Reading List: The Musical!
As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.
Neurodivergence Across Time and Space
This list includes books featuring neurodivergent โcodedโ characters that were either written before neurodivergence was understood or take place in fantasy worlds where it might not be described in the same way. Historical fiction also welcome!
This list is open for recommendations! Please focus on stories whose characters are not explicitly neurodivergent for one of the above reasons. Most of these books were recommended by readers on Pagebound, and thus I have not read them all.
Tiny Fables
All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.
The Reading Garden - Spring Books ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ฆ
๐ Book to movie adaptations ๐ฅ
Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!
(going to only add the first book in a series)
Lads, chavs, and teabags: Growing up in the UK
From bedtime stories to GCSE flashbacks, this is the source of all that is wrong with me and my countrymen.
Side note: is there no teapot emoji?????
Side note addendum: I found the teapot emoji. Observe. itโs there.
Side side note: open to suggestions especially from those older than Gen Z (unlike me) and my non-English UK inhabitants
Millennial Nostalgic Reads
Bring on those Gen Y memories! A list of books likely to give people born between 1981 and 1996 a lot of feelings.
This list is for those of us who grew up eagerly awaiting the Scholastic Book Fair, watching Reading Rainbow (or Wishbone!), and dreaming of a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
Note: these are not books published in 1981-1996, but books that had a hold on the millennial generation.
Also check out the Dear America series, American Girl series & Royal Diaries series.
