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 whose main characters are older and disillusioned with life and go on a little adventure that melts their hearts (and heals yours)

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 featuring older women as protagonists (age 30 and up) in science fiction and fantasy. Feedback and recs welcome!

Books with queer pirates, sailors, mermaids, sirens, and other ocean-related creatures (selkies & co are also welcome!) across age groups. Features erotica 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

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!

Books that feels like a DND campaign - heists, quests, and adventures galore. These books have a big cast of misfit characters and plenty of action

books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

I got my swim trunks & my flippy floppies 🩳🩴

I was listening to the lonely island and the next thing you know, this list happened.

this list contains a variety of books that take place on a variety of boats, ships and vessels

as always, taking any and all suggestions

As a tall-ish girl myself, every time I come across an FMC who is described as tiny, I yearn a bit more for some tall FMC representation — we can be love interests too! 🥹😍 So I made this list of (mostly romance and fantasy) books with a tall FMC. Whether she is taller than her partner, or they are somehow EVEN TALLER than her, all is welcome here 🫶

I haven’t read every single book on this list, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. More book recs super appreciated!!! 🤍

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 that blend the magic of fantasy with real world history (i.e., books set within actual historical time periods and not inspired-by settings). Feedback and recs welcome!

A list of well-rated sci-fi and fantasy books featuring a woman who's 30 or older as the main character. I'm open to recommendations - I'd love this list to be long

At the request of @moss-mylk 😊🫶 I will keep updating this list, and as always, recs are welcome.
