Recs if you like The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches...

This collection of romance books are perfect to read this fall season! Stories full of witches, ghosts, and happily ever afters.

books featuring older women protagonists, age 30 and up, in sci-fi and fantasy. for books with multiple povs/protagonists, older fmcs should hold equal weight and presence in the story as other mcs. ideally, aiming for more women centred additions, but open to all suggestions and feedback!

I started keeping a list on my phone every time I caught a character drooling over the love interest's forearms and now I am sharing my findings with the world! I shall continue to conduct this important groundbreaking research for the sake of all mankind . Looking for collaborators! If you find any mentions of sexy forearms in your books, I would love to add it!

Note: Inclusion in this list doesn't mean I loved the book, strangely, some of these books are my lowest rated reads. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I couldnt find a list of these yet, so i made one! You may not be able to collect the badges anymore, but if you’re a completionist like me; here are all the books of the pagebound seasonal readalongs and the special event readalongs!

Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

Books where someone, at some point, lets out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. I fully intend to update this every time I come across this line, but let me know which ones are missing in the comments!

Books with witchy female characters

All sorts of magic including - Wizards, warlocks, druids, alchemists, etc…

I took a very large take, and I hope you’ll enjoy!! 😊

For series, I only put the first book.

Recommendations are very welcome!! 🥰

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

This is like literary sorbet, books that are simple, sweet, and pretty easy to digest when you want to turn your brain off, decompress after a big, intense book, or break out of a reading slump.

A librarian's favorite response to asking what book a patron is looking for...

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!

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

this is for aesthetics only

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?

Celebrating cozy books by bipoc authors. With respect to the subjectivity of 'cozy' and how a lot of bipoc stories will touch on difficult themes as part of our realities, I'm including here books that I've read and have been recommended.

These are books for us to exhale and rest with, with lower stakes where the cozy atmosphere is thoughtfully at the forefront rather than as short scenes or as an afterthought. I'll add a suggestions criteria post in the comments for more recs 🙌🏽

these are pulled from a goodreads list that was published--working on trying to find the link again

I asked a while ago for easy/comfy reads when I have a migraine, and @KittenInACave encouraged me to make it into a list as opposed to my own shelf. recs welcome!

Perfect for fantasy lovers with not enough hours in the day!

Feel free to mention any I missed in the comments 😊
