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 girls—she was chosen by prophecy, fate, or narrative convenience to save a realm that absolutely refuses to handle its own problems.

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 i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall
no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨
**i’m 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

Books featuring elves! Or very elf-coded cultures.
Inspired by a post I made that garnered a wonderful collection of recommendations I feel are worth sharing with the community.
Under construction and open to suggestions/edits as I have not read many of these.

one-book-fits-all [ages]
middle grade adventures! recs welcome :)
there’s a special place in my heart for middle grade novels. i think they have the hardest audience—they’re written for a group defined by transition, bridging the gap between childhood and adolescence by creating space in the in-between. when done well, their universal themes (like change!) and prose make the books translatable to any age. since it feels like that should be impossible, i’m convinced authors of this age group are geniuses.

❤️Middle School Appropriate❤️
Use to be a middle school library para, so here’s some books I’ve read that are appropriate for middle school :)
(I am only gonna put the first one since there's a lot of series that are longer. I have removed those who are sequels)
