Eldest daughter syndrome
Fiction of all genres that explore what it means to cannibalize the self in service of others; the invisible labor, the elusive rewards, and the smothering of all else. Books do not need to feature actual eldest daughters. Always open to suggestions!
Slutty little glasses ๐ซฆ
Because weโd all kneel for a cute nerd (or bespectacled hottie in general) ๐ฅต๐ Collection of romance books where the MMC wears glasses and looks fabulously hot in them ๐ Bonus points if there is a scene where he takes them off to kiss his partner harder ๐ฅ๐ถ๏ธ Recommendations are always very much welcome (also I havenโt read every single book on here, so please feel free to correct me if one doesnโt fit)
A Picture of Pagebound
Book titles that illustrate things Pagebound users might do or say, or titles that might describe the app or its users. Recommendations are welcome (this is meant to be fun, please do not suggest titles that are rude or aggressive)!
This list is not a commentary on these books---the focus is purely on the titles!
Books About Books ๐
Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!
Appreciation for the tall ladies ๐ซก
As a tall-ish girl myself, every time I come across an FMC who is described as tiny, I yearn a bit more for some tall FMC representation โ we can be love interests too! ๐ฅน๐ So I made this list of (mostly romance and fantasy) books with a tall FMC. Whether she is taller than her partner, or they are somehow EVEN TALLER than her, all is welcome here ๐ซถ
I havenโt read every single book on this list, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. More book recs super appreciated!!! ๐ค
youโre so ๐๐๐
splish, splash, splosh, this water is about to slosh ๐ฆ shower, bath, pool, hot tub, ocean scenes where water is used as an aid for heat, buoyancy, assistance, ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ (im looking at you ms carlton ๐ฆ), and just general โจvibesโจ
in these steamy titles, the water should make you clean but you end up dirtier than when you entered, and weโre here for it ๐
save water, shower together โป๏ธ

Let's Talk About Sharks Baby! โซโ๐๐๐โฌ ๏พ
Romances featuring sharks (with and without claspers), people nicknamed shark, and people working for sharks. Always open to recommendations! Now, go swim and find your one true shark.
One Book Many Quests
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?
Sisters Across Genres
books where sistersโ love, hatred, or general angst towards each other is a main factor in [making you cry]/furthering the plot. Including classics/popular fiction, but particularly taking reccโs for standalone/underrepresented genres/nonfiction!!

Books With A Childfree Main Character
Romance, Genre Fiction, or Literary Fiction novels for Childfree folks where its explicit that a main character is Childfree (and they aren't teenagers) and starting a family/having kids is not mentioned as a goal. For those of us who don't always want to read about a happy ending involving kiddos (even thought we love them!). Please feel free to add suggestions ๐
If BookTok sneezed, it ended up on this listโฆ

Oops... Fell for the Enemy ๐๐ค
Fueled by arguments, eye-rolls, and "I can't stand you" energy. You know how this ends...

You know what this is
Feel good romance books
Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!
