Recs if you like It Happened One Summer...

I got my swim trunks & my flippy floppies 🩳🩴

I was listening to the lonely island and the next thing you know, this list happened.

this list contains a variety of books that take place on a variety of boats, ships and vessels

as always, taking any and all suggestions

romance books with reflective surface scenes where they watch themselves or each other 👀

PSA: the “dirty” in the title is not intended to have a negative connotation, but instead be a play on words; this is a safe space 🫂

theres a mirror joke here somewhere but i cant see it — apologies to vampires everywhere.

these books include back-door related action (think plugs, DP, regular anal, rimming, eating out, dildos, some w/ somnophilia). includes MF / MM / RH / MMF

perhaps the gr(ass) really is greener on the other side 🥵

self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.

if you hate the word ‘masturbation’, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax ⛰️ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

🫵 𝑔𝑜 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻! 🫵 😇 gladly 😇

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?

men raw dogging with no protection. the leads either consciously decide they want to have unprotected sex (bonus points if they tell each other they got tested and are clean), they dont have a condom available, or they 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓉 to use one and realise after that they made an oopsie (± pregnancy). pretend STDs/STIs dont exist, ok? 🙂‍↕️

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 :)

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!

the perfect books for curling up in bed with your comfort food and reading the entire day

i hope that you absolutely CONQUER this list and have fun while doing so☺️
