Hi everyone!

I am here to offer up my latest spreadsheet for you all: a mini database of quest books! I've pulled together some basic info like page counts, along with notes on climate focus and potential trigger warnings for each book. I've also included which other quests particular books overlap with so you can maximise your badge progress! I will endeavour to keep this updated with each addition to the quest. If you notice any errors, commenting should be switched on, so just leave a comment on the sheet letting me know.

🔗A Quest For the Future: Book Info

Please Note: When it comes to trigger warnings, I have pulled a lot of these off of Storygraph. I haven't read every book in the quest, and some I read too long ago to remember specifics. If there is something you are highly sensitive to, I would advise you do some extra research. As I have said before, Climate Fiction often deals with a lot of tough and upsetting themes. I will go through and update/amend trigger warnings as and when I read through more quest books.

Let me know if there is any more information you'd like to see, and I hope you can start choosing books more informed now ☺️

“we have to learn what we can, but remain mindful that our knowledge not close the circle, closing out the void, so that we forget that what we do not know, remains boundless, without limit or bottom, and that what we know may have to share the quality of being known with what denies it. What is seen with one eye has no depth”

I had to read this section like 4 times before I really understood what Le Guin was saying here. But man now I love this section. I love this visualization of knowledge as a boundless circle that you need to actively keep open to welcome in new knowledge. It mirrors the layout of the towns of the Kesh - galaxy shaped with arms that spiral outward - a circle that is never closed.

A few quick updates to share - a new app version was released a few days ago, please make sure your app is updated to see all available features!

Limited Time Quest Updates: We've majorly revamped the badge system for Limited Time Quests; now, you can earn the badge for reading just 1 book in the Quest, and finishing subsequent books will unlock decorations on your badge. See below for an example from the new Sponsored Limited Time Quest launched today: The Cozy Crimes of Shady Hallows (note: there is a bug on the app where the 3 decorated versions do not show - a fix will be available in the next day or two! In the meantime, reference this pic or the web to see all badge variations)

Part of our ethos at Pagebound is reading what you want when you want, while encouraging branching out of your comfort zone. With this new setup, you're rewarded for trying even one new book in a Limited Time quest (much like a Readalong!) while also being rewarded for each subsequent read. We hope this encourages folks to try new genres and authors, and alleviates needing to pick up a book you truly do not want to read just for a badge.

Fall 2026 Readalong is live!: Head to the Discuss tab to see the picks - the readalong will run through the end of November!

Small product update in this new version: you can now post from a specific page or % in the book forums even when the book is not in "currently reading" status

We'll be back soon with more major product updates!

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

Hi everyone!

Firstly, thank you so much for joining me here in my Climate Fiction quest. I can’t believe there are over 500 of you already!

To celebrate the launch of the quest, I am teaming up with KatieV, creator of 🔗Solarpunk Futures, and we will be hosting a joint buddy read!

We will be reading The Great Transition by Nick Fuller Googins, a hopeful solarpunk climate fiction that looks at what we might do after the climate has collapsed.

Our kickoff date is September 14th, and it will last for a month through to October 14th. We hope to see some of you join us! ☀️🌍

This is such a cool quest and I'm so excited to dive in! This subgenre is newer to me, so I am curious where some of you more experienced readers think I should begin? Are there one or two of these that really help define the genre better than others?

Thank you!

If you could (and you can and should) celebrate the publication of one of your favourite books, which one would it be and how would you celebrate? For example my favourite book series is Ruby Redfort so to celebrate I would invite anyone I know who's read it, ask them to dress up as the characters if they want, (for example t shirts that say things like "bozo" or "excuse me while I yawn") then we'd have donuts and banana milk in the true spirit of the book 😌💯 I'm very interested to see the replies to this 😂
