Recs if you like Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse...

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

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!

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?

Lesser-known retellings of Greek and Roman mythology.

don’t you love it when poets write novels, nonfiction, memoir! the language they bring!!

Works of literary fiction that blur the line between poetry and prose.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

books inspired by a range of mythologies (mostly Greek, Egyptian, & Hindu)

I see a few lists on here with this theme, but they were short themselves - and I was looking for a more diverse selection. So, thought I'd make my own list and share it! Nice for reading goals, but mostly, I like breaking up the rhythm if I'm reading something exceptionally long.

my list of books on 2+ quests, continued!

In the back of my copy of Circe, I found a recommendation list from Miller on exploring "more about Circe, The Odyssey, or Greek Myth"

"I am the reason I suffer but I am worth fighting for." - Roland Faunte (from the song "Anchor")

Haunting, delicate, desperate, shaking voices, trembling fingers...reading these stories feels like listening to Roland Faunte songs. [Created Apr '26]
