What's your favorite list here on PB?? And what about your favorite quest?? I don't have any fav list or quest but I'm curious to know you all's favorites!

I am not leaving the app. Rest assured

Tuesday, my support worker and I are going to look for mini free libraries ( we only have I think 7-8 ) , and I have a bag full of books I was going to trade/leave if there's room or I collect one

How do you part with books? Most of them are silly children books but some are Alchemist and other YA books

I hate getting rid of books but as my taste changes, I don't want kiddish books . Though some YA might stay

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

hello everyone 💌 I have an oddly specific scenario that is in need of some book recs!

for brief context: my mom recently (re)brought up how she is sad that I spend a lot of time immersed in queer literature, but won’t take the time for the books she recommends me (read: the bible). she also implied that my perspective is being skewed because I engage in so much in queer theory, content, and history. this conversation is always frustrating and usually very circular, but this time I proposed that I will read a passage/book of her choosing if she will read a queer book of my choosing to then discuss with me.

which leads me to my current dilemma: she agreed, and now I have to actually choose a book lmao.

part of me wants to give her the most unapologetically lesbian novel I can find, but I know she’s not in a place to receive that and will simply project her judgements onto it. instead, I want to find something that could in theory challenge her beliefs and offer a new perspective. her knowledge of queerness begins and ends at “love the sinner hate the sin” and that general mindset. i’m leaning towards non fiction (possibly through an affirming christian lens? though I am personally not religious, it would meet her where she is at), but am open to anything that may fit the bill! thank you all sm! <3 🌈🌱📚✨✨

edited to add: or if you can recommend any affirming books written specifically for parents with queer (adult) children that could also work!

I saw this floating around tiktok and thought it would be fun to bring over here! I can’t wait to read your answers 😈

Pride - a book you’re proud to have finished Sloth - a book that’s been on your TBR the longest Gluttony - a book you’ve read multiple times Wrath - a popular book you disliked Envy - a fictional world you wish you could live in Lust - a book you bought for the pretty cover Greed - a book you own multiple copies of

my answers will be in the comments!
