Recs if you like Keeper of the Lost Cities ...
Fantasy books you can read instead of Harry Potter
JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

I Was a Teenage Chosen One
The fate of the world rests on this teenage girl's shoulders. She isn't like the other girlsโshe was chosen by prophecy, fate, or narrative convenience to save a realm that absolutely refuses to handle its own problems.
๐Next in Series Hype Train๐๐จ
Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.
Covers the next 12 months. Updates once a month - please send recs
Change to list view and sort by author for easier browsing.
I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health๐).
(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here ๐ญ)
Kid's Fantasy Adventure Series
Who TF needs JKR anymore? We got way better books out there dude
Less hyped than Harry Potter (but way better)
These middle grade series may not have seven movies, a TV show, and a literal theme park dedicated to them, but they sure deserve it! Especially because they weren't written by JKR. All recommended by Pagebound users, and suggestions are always always welcome -- middle grade fantasy/mystery series-starters only, please! Let's foster a love of reading in kids without supporting bigotry and hatred.
Clean but still sweet
Clean romance books to read when you're craving some romance but without all the spice and f bombs. Books in this list can be for ages 10 to 18! Some of these books are also just fun, with a touch of romance. Let me know if you think any other books should be added!
if books were a season: fall edition
books iโve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall
no rhyme or reason, just โจvibesโจ
**iโm including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc
