Without getting into the details of how one gets to the bookshop, which book would bring you there? What kind of impact has the book had on you? Was it a book from a certain time in your life or one that has stayed with you since you first found it? Do you think you would have said a different book if you had been asked at an earlier time in your life?

I’ve been pondering these questions throughout my read and haven’t been able to choose my book yet. I’m curious if others instantly knew Their Book or if it’s a bit of a struggle like I’m having.

Hello everyone! A big obsession of mine is Pokémon! and I wanted to play a game where I match you up with a Pokémon based on your reads! 📚

I will compile your chosen Pokémon in the comments for you based on your answers 🐈💐

Mines would be #0513-#0683, Fairy or Dragon & colours include Black, Red and Blue (The Raven Boys). So I got: #0633 Deino

Inspired by the pronunciation post- what's the origin story behind your username?

Mine was chosen because warm and wyrm sound really similar when you say them, so I thought it'd make a fun username. Also- gotta love some wyrms from fantasy novels.

this might be hitting a bit too close to home still post-Covid

Quests, created by Top Contributors, are such a labor of love, and there's so much time and effort put into research and curation. As Pagebound grows, we have been brainstorming sustainable ways to create more Quests that the community is eager to see. We're trialing a new idea for a community-voted Quest, inspired by a List.

How this will work:

1. Royalty members can nominate a List (their own or any community List) that would make a great starting point for a Quest. Royalty members will receive a notification tomorrow + an email with a link to a form to fill out by EOD March 31st to nominate. The form will include context about what makes for a great Quest.
2. The entire Pagebound community will then vote on which nominated List will inspire a Quest. Everyone will receive a notification on April 1st with a link to vote.
3. The creator of the winning List will be able to accept/reject.
4. If they accept, we will create a Quest inspired by their List, adapting the title & book list if necessary to fit Quest guidelines (for example, if a List has 20 books, we will reduce it to 15 for a Side Quest; if a List includes all 7 books of a series, we would put book 1; all books from the Quest would come from the original List curation). In the Quest description, the List creator will be credited and their List linked. The resulting Quest could be either a Main or Side Quest, but it will not be open to book additions since there will not be anyone actively maintaining the book list (similar to when a Main Quest hits its 100 book cap and is closed to further additions).

We hope this idea will encourage quality List-making, give the entire community a voice in Quest creation in a sustainable way, acknowledge our Royalty supporters, and result in more diverse Quests. We think it can be a fun community-building activity! That said, we will see if this trial achieves those goals before deciding if and how often we'll repeat it.

Thanks for helping us trial and your open-minded participation! Jennifer & Lucy
