For the past week, Pagebound Royalty members have submitted nominations for Lists to inspire Quests. Jennifer and I have gone through and ensured all the Lists you'll be voting on meet our Quest guidelines. There are 95 Lists eligible for you to vote on, and you can find them in this spreadsheet.

There will be 3 winning Lists selected. You can vote for up to 3 unique lists (across any genre). Submit your votes via this form through end of day June 30th. Take note of the Quest type when voting (Column C in the spreadsheet)! Many nominated Lists share a theme but vary in length. Preference for a Side vs Main Quest could help you decide which to vote for. Most Lists will be Side Quests, but Lists with many books (~60+) will be Main Quests.

The creators of the winning Lists will be able to accept/reject. If they accept, we will create a Quest inspired by their List, adapting the title & book list as necessary to fit Quest constraints. If they decline, we'll ask the runner-up!

Thanks for voting! Jennifer & Lucy

I was hooked from the first time Adam’s physical features were described.

I'm wondering how many quest badges the person with the most quest badges has. Is there a leader board? Am I thinking too competitively 😅? How many badges do YOU have? I currently have 23 (counting my level badge and read-alongs) .

Just wanted to give a quick shoutout and thank you to Sourcebooks for sponsoring the Queer All Year quest. It’s so empowering to see LGBTQ+ stories being highlighted and celebrated, especially in a time when many wish to see these voices silenced.

And a huge thank you to Pagebound and all the work J+L do to advocate for inclusivity in this community. Creating spaces where more readers can feel seen, welcomed, and represented is so crucial, and it doesn’t happen without people putting in the effort behind the scenes.

I’ve always believed that books help us to build empathy, expand perspectives, and they remind us that everyone deserves a place on the shelf 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m really not sure how I feel about this guy, he goes from trying to be self aware of his privileges to scoffing at the thought of having to eat dinner at Panera. Of course he’ll come around in the end and forsake his inheritance to make it on his own, but an ultra-rich and under 30 main character is really not going to hold my interest very long unless this shapes up to be a brilliant mystery.
