Recs if you like Eat, Pray, Love...

For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone

Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse 😂 For books in a series or by prolific authors, I’ve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.

Suggestions welcome!

I think it goes without saying but just in case… I’m not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldn’t recommend many of these.) This is for fun!

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?

A compilation of the books mentioned in The Last Page by Katie Holt. The story is set in a bookstore and each chapter starts with a staff pick recommendation from one of the employees there. Gonna be relying on this for the Bookception prompt of HRCYED 3.0

Sentimental Garbage is a podcast by Caroline O'Donoghue. Often the topic is a particular title/book, so this list is slowly curating the different books that are discussed. For those who enjoy reading and podcasts! NB: it doesn't include books of film media discussed unless they've also done an episode on the book.

Books that have been made into a TV series or Movie

Food-related books across genres (only including first book of series if all food related)
