Hey questers! I've gotten a few questions about translations, so I thought it might be helpful to make a post to clarify. To my knowledge, different translations should all be grouped into the same book page, under "editions". You can choose whichever translation you want to read and it should count toward the quest.

That being said, there are multiple books in this quest that have duplicate book pages. If you come across one of these, you can help speed up the deduping process by reporting it to Pagebound 🔗here. If you've read one of the duplicates that isn't in this quest, my recommendation would be to just wait until the books are combined and it will automatically count toward the quest without you having to mess with your reading data. While books are being deduped, I'd suggest selecting the books you want to read either directly from the quest page or double checking the bottom of the book page where you can see which quests the book is in. That way you won't accidentally track your reading with a duplicate!

I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you have any more questions about this :)

If there are any works missing from this quest that you think should be added, please comment them below. I will be prioritizing new releases and books published after 2015, so I would appreciate if you note the publication year in your comment. Additionally, just because you recommend a book does not guarantee I am going to add it. With that in mind, I would suggest framing your recommendations as recs for other users—including details about the topic, type of poetry, and why you think people might like it is much more community-minded than just commenting a title and author. It also assists me in determining what books would be a good fit for this quest!

You can find a public shelf on my profile of all recommended books: any books commented here will go in that shelf for me to check out when I have time. I encourage you to use 🔗that shelf and my 🔗shelf of excluded books as resources for further reading, if you’re interested! Thank you in advance for your recommendations!💛

Here are the recommendation guidelines in bullet points for ease of reference😉

Criteria:

• Fictitious* narrative poetry, novel-in-verse, or epic poem
• Young adult (13-18) or general adult
• If a single poem, more than 500 lines (preferably more than 1000)
• Prioritizing new releases and works published in the last 10 years (but feel free to rec older pieces)
• Preferably focusing on a topic that is not already highlighted (ex. It is unlikely I will be adding anything more on Greek mythology)
• No repeat authors
• Only the first of a series will be added

How to recommend a book:

• Double check quest criteria above!
• Ensure your rec is not already in the quest, in a comment here, or in either of my public shelves linked earlier in this post
• Comment directly on this post
• Include title, author, publication year, and (preferably) a few sentences about the book (i.e. format, topics, why you like or dislike it, why you think it would be a good fit for the quest)
• Treat your recommendation as a rec for the community! (If you have a book that you don't think meets the criteria for this quest, but you still think users in this quest would enjoy it, then share it!! Just make sure to put a disclaimer for my sake😄)

*As a reminder, I use the word “fictitious” delicately. In case you missed it, you can read more about my intention in the 🔗Quest Intentions and Curation post. I do not anticipate the line between fiction and reality to be a big issue with more modern recommendations, but please keep it in mind when sharing your recs!
