Recs if you like Fathers and Sons...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

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!

Inspired to create a list by a post from @mmyth, I thought it would be nice to have a list of quest books you can download and read for free via Internet Archive. Recommendations gladly accepted. Happy reading ya'll!

(Please note this will ONLY contain books found through Internet Archive and no other sources, I don't want to run into possible mistakes and copyright headaches.)

Update: This list will also include books you can borrow through Open Library, a part of Internet Archive. In addition, this will only show English-language availability.

Qwordy's Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 Familial Terms Prompt You must find five books with DIFFERENT familial terms in the title. You can use other languages, but once you use it in another language, you cannot use it again This is an on going list and always open for recommendations

Various titles, from Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Baltic, & Balkan authors.

Notes in the margins are a must. — Me, a neurotic literature degree holder

These books are historical fiction from different area and time periods. I did not add WW2 books as they are already highly popular and I wanted to focus on lesser known time periods or countries in the genre. Please suggest similar books.

Fixations and obsessions

under construction

Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of father-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. Not all books on this list include “daddy issues” — these books can be about the different perspectives and nuances of the father-child relationship, whether positive or negative. Some books center the child, some the father, some both.

Suggestions are welcome.

Foreign literature

I wanna read more diverse books from all around the world. These are mostly books that play in the same country the author is from. This list is here to help you, if you have the same goal. 🥰

Recommendations are more than welcome. 🙂‍↕️

Books Written by authors from countries outside the US. In a personal quest to read books from authors from around the world, so I thought I would start this list to help others!

Always adding more! Please leave suggestions!

Pretty specific to what I have left, but could be useful to you if you're doing HRCYED 3. If you have questions on what prompt something is going to just leave a comment.
