hello pb friends! i’m hoping to know who is your favourite fictional duo? iconic pairings in which one can’t be talked about without mentioning the other.
i’m thinking of creating a list and wanted to get some input from the community. i’ll be focusing on fantasy so i’m most curious about that, but i think it would be great to hear about all the iconic duos out there in general! feel free to include what book/series they’re from and what it is about them that makes them a fave.

I have seen a few posts about lists lately: asking about everyone's favourite lists, the lists we have saved, etc. User created lists are one of my favourite featuresof PB, so today I wanted to put a bit of a spin on the "favourite lists" question and ask list curators directly: what's the list you are most proud of, out of the ones you've created? I know this can feel a bit like picking a favourite child 😂 But I'm very curious to hear what lists curators hold dearest. I'll drop my own answer in the comments as well, let's find some new favourites! 👀

characters that haunt the narrative
I'm including books where a character's presence is minimal and every character, conflict, and theme leads back to them. Their absence feels loud. Their past decisions shape the present.
Open for recommendations that meet these parameters 💓 I haven't read all the books in this list but feel fairly confident about their inclusion here, if you believe one of these doesn't fit feel free to discuss in the comments

Do you ever just... get an idea for a list and have only maybe one or two books to actually populate it with? Do you also just question whether it's a good idea/concept at all? And what about what emojis to use??? This is my dilemma for the day.
So, I have a proposition. Let's crowdsource from the amazing community we have here on Pagebound, mine our varied experience and exposure and work on some lists!
For mine, I kind of wanted to do one inspired by Magritte's This Is Not a Pipe and call it This Is Not a Story, which is apparently also a project by a French author. The idea was to have books that are frequently misunderstood. But all I have for it is Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club. And also... aren't all books about something deeper than what the synopsis implies and is open to interpretation and thus the chance of being mistaken?

Hello!
First, credit where it's due, I've stumbled upon Brunel's posts and lists about reading the world (A and B) which was amazing and impressive. It is what made me discover the "read the world" idea and thus the website readaroundtheworldchallenge.com.
The thing is I have specific genres I'm interested in and although I do want to diversify my reading in terms of characters / authors, I don't really care about expanding my genre preferences. So I'm trying to find books (to make a list later) and could use some help :)
Looking for :
Not by American authors or American-OtherEthnicity authors. To me, it's not the birthplace that counts for this list, I'd like to read books written by people living/having the nationality of different countries. (Example : Someone born in X country and moved to America when they were 5yo falls under the American Literature scope for me, not the X Country Literature).
Anyway, all help is welcome :) and hopefully I'll make that list up one day (and the big goal is to make a list for each of those 4 book genres)

Your on a desert island awaiting rescue and you can only bring three books but they MUST have a cover with the mainly primary colors (Red, Yellow, or Blue)
Which books and Why?
Here are my picks:
❤️ - Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel 💙 - The Survivor Wants to Die At The End by Adam Silvera 💛 - Yellowface. by R.F Kuang
I chose these ones because they've been on my TBR forever maybe if I get stranded on an island I'll finally get to them !

Hey everyone, as I was planning my TBR on the Plan feature here, I noticed that at the end (after April 2027) that there was a section that said, “unscheduled from year plan,” and then a list of books. I was wondering what this meant? Thanks! 🫶🏼
