Hello everyone!

I am making a new suggestion post because the original is a bit buried and I want to ensure it's easy to find the criteria for what does and does not qualify.

If you have a suggestion for books to add to this quest, please comment them here. Make sure to double check that it has not already been requested on this post. If your suggestion is already here, please upvote the existing comment as I will use the upvotes to gauge interest!

What qualifies a book for this quest? The books in this quest are structured around a game or trial rather than just including games/trials somewhere in the book. The entire narrative is about preparing for the games, the games themselves, and the aftermath of the games.

Examples of books that would not fit despite including a game/trial plot point:

• The Will of the Many by James Islington
• The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
• The Poppy War by R F Kuang

While the games/trials in these books are important to the story, the books are not about the games/trials.

10/28/25 note: I am currently focusing on adding diverse voices, especially BIPOC authors, to balance the quest a bit more.

12/15/25 note: All suggestions from the old post and one-off posts have been added as individual comments here. If yours was missed please create a separate comment on this post.

4/1/26 note: I will be reviewing options between now and June to add a few more to this quest!

7/3/26 note: 6 new books have been added to the quest! I will be looking to add more books towards the end of the year (October-December). This post is getting quite long so I may make a new one with all the existing suggestions but for now, keep adding new suggestions to this post :)

Look how stylish!! (expand post for a pic)

It’s obvi a quick Google search away, but I thought it didn’t hurt to add this to the beginning of the forum because I had never seen or heard this word before (for a hot sec I even thought it was a fictional creature lmao).

I have never seen this bird either, so my mental images were not imaging for the first couple of pages.

Since I have only read the first few pages, I haven’t really gotten a grasp of the hoopoe character, so i’m curious!! Based on the look of this bird, what kind of vibes do u guys think she is radiating?

It’d be fun to see how aligned the character is with how the actual bird is perceived!

I can’t quuuuite put my finger on it, but to me, I think it’s the combo of the eyes and the proud-looking mohawk that’s just giving a slightly defiant "I know better than u" attitude🙂‍↕️

Okay friends, this question is inspired by @mimilovesreading’s club 🔗 post about quest forums.

What do you think is the most underrated Pagebound feature and why should we appreciate/use it more?
