If you want to recommend a book for the quest, you’re in the right place - but please read this first. I’ll be using upvotes to gauge interest. Please avoid replying just to say you agree; it makes sorting much easier for me and for your fellow boundlings.

Upvoting/liking equals stating your agreement, in this case. Please do not downvote a book simply because you did not like it personally.💖

Important: a recommendation doesn’t guarantee the book will be added, even if it fits the criteria and has many upvotes.

Step One Make sure the book you want to recommend is fiction and fits under one or more of the following criteria:

Traveling back or forth in time: - a character intentionally travels to another time.

Person/people displaced in time: a character ends up in another time by accident and is stuck, trying (or having tried) to get back. The POV doesn’t have to be from the displaced character.

Time loop: same time period keeps repeating.

Time pocket: - a character spends meaningful time in a time pocket while real time is frozen or moves differently.

ALTERNATE REALITIES WILL NOT BE INCLUDED.

Step Two Check whether the book has already been recommended.

If it has, upvote the existing comment instead of adding a new one.

This helps keep everything tidy and makes it easier for everyone to navigate💖

Step Three If your book isn’t listed yet, leave a comment with: the title and author, and which criterion the book falls under

Example: The Austen Affair by Madeline Bell – person/people displaced in time.

When will new books be added? I’ll try to add more books to the quest at least once every three months, but additions will mostly depend on relevant new releases.

Thank you so much!🥰

Super not. I did okay in English. They always tried to put me in advanced English courses because I was in advanced courses in nearly every other subject, and I read a lot and I guess that helped me test well, but I always hated English. And would deny their efforts to put me in advanced English.

Anyway. The other day I watched Ilona Maher’s podcast with her sisters and I remember hearing B.K. Borison say she wrote the stories she wanted to read and I honestly kind of want to do that for myself. For fun.

No self publishing, no becoming a writer or author. Like I just wanna have fun with it, see where it goes. So today I spent time like creating a world in my head and added some key things I always love in stories. Maybe I’ll write it as YA so my kids can read it one day idk. And I’m just curious like, has anyone done this?

I actually once upon a time wrote fantasy ish stories for my neopets when I was a teen so it’s not really my first time attempting this idea, but if anyone has done this, did you lose interest? Did you absolutely love it? Did you let anyone read it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Again not for any other reason other than fun but did you also get imposter syndrome. I’m a perfectionist and it really ruins my life sometimes like it makes me stop attempting new things often just bc I’m like oh I’m bad (bc I really am hahahahaha) and so I quit.

Oh and are there any online resources with basic story writing? Again I just want to do it for fun, but I’d like to make it semi readable normal feeling. Not just magical mystical word vomit.
