Recs if you like Silver in the Wood ...

because @notbillnye (my goat) told me to, and inspired by @Alanna

(recs are welcome!)

cats across genres! these books range from books all about cats to books that feature a cat, and all are cat-friendly!

Fiction books featuring plants as a major theme. For the purpose of this list, fungi are honorary plants! All fiction genres here (though I am primarily a fantasy reader, so suggestions most welcome!)

your favorite stories growing up, with a queer twist! anywhere from the most popular fairytales to the more obscure ones, recs always welcome!

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

are all of those historical fiction? probably not. are all of those queer? well of course.

Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

Let me know if you have any recommendations to add to this list!

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

Fantasy where plants, herbs, forests and green places aren’t just set dressing: they drive character choices, magic systems and plot. Expect hedgewitches and apothecaries, sentient woods and green men, tea alchemists, orchard bargains and kitchen gardens that meddle in human affairs. The tone ranges from cozy cottagecore to gently thorny fairytales sprinkled in. If you crave stories that smell like rain on soil and sound like wind in leaves, start here!

This list is perfect for a quick magical escape. 😊

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!

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

fiction books that have a main character or prominent side character that fit the D&D Druid class (at least partly). here for the wildshape, speak with animals, and loving nature vibes! open to recs and input!

also credit to @moss-mylk for providing a whole shelf worth’s of recs for this list!!!

Novellas that are a decent bite of literature and a full meal despite being compact. Like a burrito on a commute to work. AKA my full novella master list

Qwordy's Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 Periodic Table Titles Prompt You must find five books that use a different element of the periodic table in the title of the book This is an on going list and always open for recommendations

One sitting. Thirty strange stories. Zero wasted pages.

Somebody asked for a list based on the recs folks gave on my pagebound club post, so this is that! (Plus i dumped a bunch of my faves & tbr in)

Just like the regency-era list, this is for books with faeries set in the Victorian-era (and Edwardian, because there aren't enough of those for it to be its own list). As always, open to recommendations!

So, you like your fantasy with a historical-ish setting; perhaps even a dash of gothic yearning here and there. I've got you bestie.
