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)
French Literature Final Boss
=== Stable! ===
Based on my original post on having quests for French Literature, I made starter packs (check my profile 👀) but I'm thinking we just need a big dump! Thanks to everyone participating!
This list covers books across time by French authors (as in people that have the nationality no matter their origins) and can hopefully incentivize crossovers with the Francophonie mon amour list!
Check comments to see how I diversified the list!
Wait.... This Hike is How Long?!
Books where the main characters have to travel a seemingly long distance to achieve their goals/quests. Travel is not exclusive to walking, this list also includes long distance travel by car, boat, train, and even spaceship!
As always, open to suggestions! 🙂🤠
Tiny Fables
All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

French Classic Literature
a non-exhaustive collection of works
Standard Ebooks Offerings!
I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I talk about Standard Ebooks a TON. I wanted to make a list of some of the most popular offerings they have available to read. Their full library of over 1300 books is 100% FREE and from the US Public Domain. From Kobo to Kindle, they have a format that'll work for however you want to read, even PDFs! Save a few bucks (or library holds) here: https://standardebooks.org/
French Lit Starter Pack Vol II
The second volume of my french lit starter pack saga. Damn there are so many books to pick from, it's hard tbh. Also a lot of books I'd love to share that haven't been translated into english 🥲

Based on my original post on having quests for French Literature! Thanks to everyone that participated in the discussion and helped me put these together!
This list covers books published from the 12th to the 19th centuries. See comments for more info on the methodology I used!

Classic Children’s Lit
Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!
Essential Francophone Lit: Classics & Contemporary
A collection of acclaimed classic and contemporary Francophone literature. I chose to classify as Francophone rather than French in order to include authors who wrote in French but were/are not of French nationality, especially authors from colonised countries. Non-exhaustive as I'm not an expert I am keeping this list to one book per author but suggestions very welcome! :)
They Made a Game of That
Books which have video game adaptations or are cited as heavy inspirations for them. I love both books & games as mediums & feel there is more connection between them than oft credited. Obviously, creatives are influenced by innumerable things, but it's awesome when developers, etc. share their inspirations. Please say if there are others you know of!
