Fiction by Zionist Authors
Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me

Poor little meow meows (sci-fi & fantasy edition)
Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.

๐ฉHe is not the love of your life๐ฉ
"He is literally just a guy. Hit him with your car."
AKA, a selection of "book boyfriends" that actually suck. Featuring red flags ranging from an emotionally unavailable Irish lad to a man who locks up his wife in an attic.
Recommendations welcome. No judgment if you enjoy these books; this list was inspired by my own obsession with Heathcliff, toxic lover extraordinaire, as a teen.

POV: youโre at a thrift store
Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse ๐ For books in a series or by prolific authors, Iโve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.
Suggestions welcome!
I think it goes without saying but just in caseโฆ Iโm not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldnโt recommend many of these.) This is for fun!

Teenage Millennial Memories Unlocked ๐๏ธ
Allow me to set the scene:
Itโs 2 AM on a school night but you only have 100 pages left. You will power through. Forget the math test you have first period. This is your priority. And you must know how the book ends.
I donโt know what sort of millennial catnip these 2000s YA authors put in these books, but let me tell you, my โbaby millennialโ self was addicted.
Pagebound Millennials: what YA were you reading?

not quite vestal virgins, virgin men in romance
Unsullied. Undefiled. Uninitiated. Untouched. Chaste. Pure. While the tired trope of virginal and inexperienced women abounds, particularly in historical romance but even in contemporary works, virginal men are much less common. With stories that can be refreshing and joyful, or not (lol), this list brings together heroes whoโve done little more than kiss. (Some of them havenโt even done that.) All romance sub-genres are included, except YA.

Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)

I think Pagebound quests should be enjoyed at your own pace, reading whatever piques your interest. That being said, here's a list of books that are included in multiple quests. This list is a work in progress and suggestions are welcome :)

books that are part of 3 or more quests, for those readers with a completionist streak within and a personal plague of Too Many Books, Too Little Time.

I didnโt say it was good, I said I liked it
Cult classics, guilty pleasures, popcorn reads, addictive stories in dire need of an editor, just some good old fun โ these are books with an average enjoyment rating that is at least 0.5 stars higher than the average quality rating. This is a purely objective criterion and doesnโt necessarily reflect my personal opinion on quality or enjoyment of these books. Suggestions welcome! Please also inform me when I messed up the math/the ratings changed, thatโs bound to happen sooner or later.

Quest Guide: 4 Leaf Clovers
Ever felt overwhelmed by Quests? Well, we currently (August 1st 2026) have over 100 of them, totaling 4000+ different books. Ofc youโre overwhelmed.
Ever wished there was a easy way to see the overlap of all the quests, so you could better strategize on where to start for max badge-achievement? Well, we donโt have that (yet?). But here Iโm giving you a list of every book on Pagebound thatโs in 4 Quests. Hopefully youโll find it helpful. NB: Time limited Quests not included. Too much upkeep, sorry.
Enjoy, and happy questing
