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!

Discworld is a comic fantasy book series written by the English author Sir Terry Pratchett, set on the Discworld, a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle.

Books that feature a personification of Death who's a bit of a sweetheart. Maybe has a soft spot for cats. Maybe adopts neglected children and gives them a loving if unconventional home. That kind of thing.

Disclaimer: I have not read all the books in this list. Recommendations welcome!

Books that are set around Christmas or about Christmas, but not focused mostly on romance. Please suggest more as I have a hard time finding books with little to no romance that is Christmas focused.

All main novels related to Discworld by Terry Pratchett

This is mostly romance because that seems to be what is mostly written for xmas-themed books, but if anyone has any other recs I would love that!
