Recs if you like A Court of Thorns and Roses...
Fiction by Zionist Authors
Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me
Quest Thirst ๐ฆ (100+ Books under multiple quests)
Books that are part of 3 or more quests โจfor easier planning! Initially thought of making this on my shelf, hope the members of pb find this helpful!! (The list is incomplete, I'm working on checking & adding new quest books๐๐ป thanks for the love โค๏ธ๐ฅน)
Poor little meow meows (sci-fi & fantasy edition)
Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.
Pagebound User Book Cameos
For when your PB friends share the same name(s) as a book character! (See pinned comment for master list! Please feel free to chime in if you want to be added and/or if you want a different book assigned to you; I didnโt want to step on toes and add people I havenโt really talked to without their permission โค๏ธ also my brain is smooth and I forget book character names all the time lol)
You mean the government is bad?
A list of books with corrupt, evil, or just downright bad governments! I'm not sure how I ended up reading so many of these types of books (prob my love for dystopia) but here I am haha. Most of these will prob include taking down said evil government. I will update this list as I read more books with bad govs.

๐ฉHe is not the love of your life๐ฉ
"He is literally just a guy. Hit him with your car."
AKA, a selection of "book boyfriends" that actually suck. Featuring red flags ranging from an emotionally unavailable Irish lad to a man who locks up his wife in an attic.
Recommendations welcome. No judgment if you enjoy these books; this list was inspired by my own obsession with Heathcliff, toxic lover extraordinaire, as a teen.

Questmaxxing
I think Pagebound quests should be enjoyed at your own pace, reading whatever piques your interest. That being said, here's a list of books that are included in multiple quests. This list is a work in progress and suggestions are welcome :)

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.
Books Across Badges, A Multi-Quest Hit List
books that are part of 3 or more quests, for those readers with a completionist streak within and a personal plague of Too Many Books, Too Little Time.
If BookTok sneezed, it ended up on this listโฆ
Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed โchanged their life.โ Proceed with caution.
The Restricted Section
playfully named after the very section in HP, this is a short list for problematic or controversial authors. if there are any titles/authors you believe should be added Iโm open to researching and adding more. Will try to stick to 1 book per author.*

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.
