Recs if you like An Ember in the Ashes...

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.

Books that are part of 3 or more quests ✨for easier planning! Initially thought of making this on my shelf, hope the members of pb find this helpful!! (The list is incomplete, I'm working on checking & adding new quest books🙌🏻 thanks for the love ❤️🥹)

Books that appear on 5 or more quests. It's a 5-for-1 deal! Just for you!

This is an ongoing list as I'm adding manually as I come across them, so feel free to comment additions!

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

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.

a list of fantasy book recs free of problematic authors so you can discover without any stress of promoting them!

This is a list for those of you that love dark fantasy (dying gods, monsters in the woods, that kind of thing), but you also have a soft side for softies. These books still have that grim atmosphere, but they also have characters who are green flags. Someone who asks permission, protects without smothering, or just does the right thing when no one else will.

Ever felt overwhelmed by Quests? Well, we currently (August 1st 2026) have over 100 of them, totaling 4000+ different books. Ofc you’re 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 don’t have that (yet?). But here I’m giving you a list of every book on Pagebound that’s in 5 or more Quests. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful. NB: Time limited Quests not included. Too much upkeep, sorry.

Enjoy, and happy questing

we love a man who yearns in this house

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?

Fantasy inspired by Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and/or Afghanistan (myths, setting, etc.)

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

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 :)

We have a lot of requests in our library for these, so I figured I would provide the page bound community with our list!

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.

literally.

A woman's place is in the revolution. Featuring magical/gifted women who disobey the powers that be and rage against the machine.

Do you love collecting tiny shiny objects (badges)? These books will count towards THREE quests, helping you collect all the shiny objects!

instead of medieval europe inspired fantasy all of the time.

Open to recs!

(I removed middle east bc I found out that was the colonial term!)
