  • Quest Recommendations

    If you want to recommend a book for the quest, you’re in the right place - but PLEASE READ THIS POST BEFORE ADDING YOUR SUGGESTIONS.

    I’ll be using upvotes to gauge interest. 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/MULTIVERSES/BRANCHING TIMELINES 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.

    Leave one comment per suggestion. Don’t be afraid of spamming the comment section - leave all the suggestions you’d like😍

    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!🥰

    What types of books are currently being prioritized? New releases - Books by BIPOC authors - Books by queer authors - Books with BIPOC representation - Books with queer representation

    TL;DR: Check if your suggestion has already been added in another comment. If not, leave a comment with one title, author, and time travel type per comment so each option can be upvoted individually. Upvotes are used to gauge interest. If you agree with an existing suggestion, do not add a new comment or reply to the suggestion stating your agreement - simply upvote it.

    Barely started but this narrator? >>>>>>

    I could listen to this narrator every day. Definitely writing their name down to look for their other works!

  • 2027 Goal

    I’m trying to think ahead a little bit for 2027 and I don’t think I’m going to be reading with a number in mind (gasp). Normally I set a number goal I know I can reach and then beat that number naturally without stressing. Just something to keep me going.

    Next year, I’m planning on putting the titles of every unread book on my shelves in a jar so I can pick 2-3 per month to read. This way I still have plenty of room to read where the mood (or read along) takes me. My goal is not to finish the whole jar this year, but if I do that’s an added bonus. I’m going to keep going until it’s empty either way.

    I plan on allowing myself to skip each title only once. If the title comes up again and I still don’t want to read it, it’s getting donated!

    Has anyone had luck with something similar? Or what are we thinking for 2027?
