Recs if you like The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes...

A list of books with corrupt, evil, or just downright bad governments! I'm not sure how I ended up reading so many of these types of books (prob my love for dystopia) but here I am haha. Most of these will prob include taking down said evil government. I will update this list as I read more books with bad govs.

i can’t stop noticing bowl of mac & cheese titles. everywhere

Suggestions always welcome in the pursuit of women's rights and women's wrongs! For the terrible women in science fiction and fantasy who are gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing their way to the top, using any and all tools at their disposal—the more war crimes, the better. These women are generally characterized as ruthless, cunning, scheming, manipulative, and as all around horrible people.

I'm quite experienced in the man-hating field. These books made me hate men more than I already did.

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! 🤠

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions 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?

Books in which the audiobook narrator serenades you by singing an in story song.

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 I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

books centering on characters obsessed with a certain thing, ambition, or goal! one of my favorite types of characters… you could say I’m obsessed with them

what it says on the tin! i love a good fantasy book but sometimes you want something a little more grounded in reality. please leave recs

"Her fierce creature of a mind: sleek and sharp-clawed and utterly unwilling to be caught." from The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski

Books with characters who plan and scheme and overcome obstacles with sheer mental power.

The books that have always been there, warning that these things might be coming if we don't change. So pick one up, grab a fridge cigarette, and let it sharpen your rage into something constructive.

Morally grey or straight up baddies? Aiming to collect books written from a villainous/morally grey POV so suggestion appreciated.

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

The list is in order of oldest episodes to most recent. I will try and update when new episodes drop.

So take a walk down memory lane with these nostalgic picks, or find something new that sparks your inner teenager! Please give the podcast a listen, I think they’re a great bookish podcast to support
