I'm a witchy nocturnal person that loves fantasy and romantasy and some sci-fi. I am currently coming out of a reading slump and eager to read more, specially Asian mythology inspired.

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (Maggie the Undying, #1)

Ilona Andrews

Game of Thrones meets Outlander in This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me When Maggie wakes up, cold, naked, and filthy in Kair Toren, a city in the kingdom of Rellas, she recognizes it immediately. It’s the world she knows intimately from the pages of an unfinished dark fantasy series she’s been obsessively reading and re-reading while waiting years for the final novel. With no idea how or why she landed in this gritty, violent world, she’s determined to survive until she can figure out how to get home with her only tools – an encyclopedic knowledge of the plot, setting, and the characters’ actions, motivations, and fates: information she can sell to the highest bidder – all while staying under the radar so as not to change the very information she plans to barter. Soon Maggie discovers another surprising “skill”: she cannot be killed (though many will try.) And as she becomes more attached to the motley band she’s somehow gathered – which includes a former lady’s maid, a deadly assassin, a dangerous soldier, and various outrageous magic creatures – she abandons all thoughts of lying low for her own good. Instead she finds herself trying to save them, and the Kingdom of Rellas from the cataclysmic war she knows is coming.

Heiress of Nowhere

Stacey Lee

An orphan races to uncover a killer—who may have come from the sea—when she and her beloved orcas fall under suspicion in this gothic historical mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl. 1918. Orcas Island, Washington. Eighteen-year-old Lucy Nowhere has spent her life working on the massive estate of Dakon Sanders, the eccentric shipbuilder who took her in after she washed ashore as a baby in a green canoe. But she longs for a life away from the island, which, despite its abundance, holds no answers for her. Just before her departure to attend university, Lucy discovers the head of her benefactor on a rocky beach. Rumors swirl that a mischievous spirit, the Orkus, has struck again, much like it commanded its minions, the seawolves, to kill a nameless cannery worker years ago. But Lucy doesn’t believe the seawolves are at fault. She believes that the seal heads that have started appearing on beaches have been placed there by a human hand. Then, Lucy is named the heiress of the multi-million-dollar estate, displacing his dashing and mysterious nephew, Nash. The unexpected inheritance casts Lucy under new suspicion—and paints a large target on her back. Though her best friend, the ruggedly handsome estate cowboy guard, Koa, urges her to leave the island with him, Lucy knows the only way she can discover who she is, and to free the island of its curse, is to find the real killer—before she becomes the next victim.

The Sisters of Book Row

Shelley Noble

A thrilling and timely historical novel of books, banning, and the women who helped save New York’s famed Book Row, from bestselling author Shelley Noble. 1915: Manhattan’s Book Row, an eclectic jumble of forty bookshops along Fourth Avenue, is the mecca for rare book buyers from around the world, and the haunt of locals looking for a bargain. It is also the target of the most vicious censor in American history—Anthony Comstock. And home to three sisters who vow to stop him. For the three Applebaum sisters, the narrow, four-storied Arcadia Rare Bookshop is the only home they’ve ever known. Olivia, the oldest, is an expert in restoring rare manuscripts. Daphne, the outgoing middle sister, oversees the retail shop and is a favorite with their customers. Celia, the youngest, is left to dust and catalogue, but often sneaks out to do heaven knows what. Little do her sisters know, Celia has joined a group of young people who secretly print and distribute articles on women’s health by hiding them within the pages of ordinary cookbooks, household hints, and sewing patterns, despite the personal risk. Meanwhile, the Comstock Laws threaten anybody who owns or circulates “obscene, lewd, or lascivious” publications. Even classic literature or fine art could send a person to jail. In the face of such oppression, Celia and the booksellers of Book Row band together. But secrets and a mysterious stranger mean the fate of the famed Book Row is anything but secure.

The Sun and the Starmaker

Rachel Griffin

There once was a village so far north that most considered it the top of the world... and in that village, the Sun fell in love with her Starmaker. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches comes a whimsical and sweeping romantic fantasy. Nestled deep in the snowy mountains of the Lost Range, the small village of Reverie endures on a miracle. Beyond the reach of the Sun, Reverie is dependent upon the magic of the mysterious Starmaker: every morning, he trudges across a vast glacier and pulls in sunlight over the peaks, providing the village with the light it needs to survive. Aurora Finch grew up on tales of the Starmaker’s magic, never imagining she’d one day meet him. But on the morning of her wedding, a fateful encounter in the frostbitten woods changes everything. The Starmaker senses a powerful magic within her and demands she come study under his guidance. With her newfound abilities tied to the survival of the village, Aurora is swept away to his ice-covered castle at the mountain’s peak. The Starmaker is as cold and distant as the dark woods, leaving Aurora to explore his enchanted castle with only an immortal rabbit for company. Yet the more she discovers about the sorcerer, the stronger their ruinous attraction grows, pulling her closer to the secrets he refuses to share. A deadly frost approaches, and Aurora must uncover what the Starmaker is hiding before she is left in an endless winter that even the Sun cannot touch.

Frost (Frost and Nectar, #1)

C.N. Crawford

On the worst birthday of my life, I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, I’m drunk, homeless, and pledging to stay single forever. And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town, looking for fae like me. Every generation, the king holds a competition for Seelie queen. But for reasons he won’t explain, Torin is looking for a charade, not a real marriage. So when I drunkenly sling insults his way, I have his attention. When Torin offers me fifty million to participate, I think, “What have I got to lose?” The answer turns out to be “my life,” because my competition will literally kill for the crown. And the more time I spend with the seductive king, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all supposed to be fake. Now, my life—and my heart—are one the line.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games, #0)

Seyria

Thoughts from 41% (page 214)

"The pork chops and potatoes were certainly better fare than what they had at home - another reason for wanting Lucy Gray to stay alive."

I can sympathise with a boy that struggled most of his life, specially after the splendour he first lived. But I absolutely cannot understand him. How come people like this exist for real? Where everything is Me and I and that's what matters. He doesn't really care about anything or anyone. He'll only show some kind of emotion when it affects him or you tell him he can't have something.

When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break.

Jay Kristoff

In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family. Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined. Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic—the Red Church. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she’ll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves. Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge?

I love pagebound quests so much that I made a spreadsheet about them

Hi everyone! I am so, so excited to finally share with you a little (unofficial) PB-related something I’ve been slowly working on for the past couple of weeks. And by slowly, I mean it took me… oh, I don’t know, maybe 20 hours total to do? Maybe more?

When I was scrolling through quests a little bit ago, I began to notice a pattern of certain books showing up multiple times. Which got me thinking: what percent of books show up in more than one quest? Which books are in the most quests? The one I was most intrigued about was What quest combinations show up the most?

The answers? 13.7%, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, Interview with the Vampire, Dune, and What Moves the Dead. The third is actually a tie at 13, between Epic Sci-Fi and Fantasy Series & Iconic Series, and Fantasy and Sci-Fi with a Side of Romance & Iconic Series. This didn’t really surprise me, since I was noticing a lot of overlap between these categories when I was clicking through making this.

What’s this, you may ask? Well, I’m a bit of a data nerd. I’m also a bit of a Google Sheets nerd (it can do more than it looks, okay!) This is the Unofficial Pagebound Quest Tracker, made up of over 2,000 books, 77 different quests (and counting!), and endless possibilities to maximize your quest output :) You can search the quest you’re working on to see what else is available, search for a specific book to see which quests it’s in/if any of the categories interest you, and—if you’re like me and you like a free-for-all—the number of quests is sorted from greatest to least to easily see which books have the most quests!

Just to reiterate, this is completely unofficial and just a silly little side project made by a silly little bored woman who really, really loves it here on Pagebound. Hence, there are probably some imperfections here or there, so if you spot something off, please please please let me know and I will fix it ASAP! I will be updating this sheet every Monday with any new additions, unless they turn out to update less than I'm expecting, in which case it’ll probably end up being once a month.

Whether you’re like me and you’re a total stats nerd, or just curious about which books Contributors seem to love adding to their quests (no shade! I'm loving the overlap as a badge girlie) I hope this ends up being an incredible and useful tool for you!

A little P.S: If the font isn’t readable, if the spacing looks weird, if you have any feedback of that sort, then please do say so and I will try to find something that works for everyone!

On that note, if you have any suggestions about something new to add, also say something and I will see if it is something that can be done! I was thinking about making a personal quest tracker for badge levels and such, which should be a bit easier now that I’ve gotten all of the titles and quests down, but it might be a bit before I feel up to undertaking another project like that again 😭

tl;dr: I made a massive unofficial quest tracker so you can maximize badges with minimal suffering hehe

Much love to all my beautiful, wonderful, Pagebound family, Courtney 💓

So far I love the dreamy/poetic world building 🤍

It feels like I know where the story is going so I would love to be wrong and get an unpredictable plot twist 🤞 But even if it stays predictable I'll let the author carry me along because I really like her world
