    recommendations for a dungeons & dragons reading challenge

    hello lovely PB users!

    i've made a few reading challenges for my friend group in the past to help motivate us to read more, and now at the request of my bestie, i am planning a D&D themed one. the general idea is that we'll create characters to make a party, and then read books to complete different quests and defeat monsters!

    the first prompt i'm thinking of is to basically choose each of our classes, with it being somewhere along the lines of "read a book that features whichever class that you want to choose". the general idea is that the main character should fit/be whatever D&D class its meant to represent! i'm trying to think of different books that can fit each of the core D&D classes (paladin, rogue, wizard, etc.) to make it easier for them to choose and was wondering what recommendations everyone had? it's fairly easy to come up with books that fit wizard but i'm having trouble with some of the others like monk

    (edit for to clafiry classes) i would love recs for books that specifically have an mc that's a monk, warlock, bard, or ranger! but if you have ideas for the other classes i'd love to hear them too!!

  • What does your StoryGraph say about you?

    Mine says: Mainly reads fiction books that are adventurous, emotional, and dark. Typically chooses medium-paced books that are 300-499 pages long

    And I’d say that’s pretty accurate lol. What does your say? Any surprises? Anyone twinning? šŸ‘€

  • Classics for an 11-year-old

    My niece is turning 11 soon and has asked for classic books for her birthday. She’s currently reading The Bookwanderers where the MC meets characters from books like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Anne of Green Gables. (She’s read those two already though!)

    What were some of your favorite classics at that age? Or what do you wish you had read then?

    Thoughts from 3% (page 10)

    So it became increasingly important for me to not just find out more about Marsha but to share every bit of what I learned through my blog, writing, and community organizing work. I knew that we needed to reclaim and to be nourished by our history.

    so far, I’m mostly wishing that I were more familiar with Tourmaline’s other work and activism so that I’d have a clearer sense of the perspective this will be told from. reading wikipedia only does so much šŸ™ƒ and then i wonder whether I am familiar with her work after all, if not her name, because I feel like I’ve heard a lot about Marsha. Does all of that come from archival work Tourmaline did?

  • a question about quests and readalongs and special events!

    Hello everyone! i have a few questions as regards how these things work, i've tried to find the answer in previous posts but couldn't find anything (at least with the key-words i tried).

    So, question here: if I join a quest, but i've already read some of the books on the list, do those books count towards the quest count? Or does the book need to be "finished" after i join the quest?

    #2: Can you abandon a quest after joining? I thought about joining one just to see what it looks like when you join but I didn't know if you could leave and i didn't want to commit beforehand

    Now, #3: for Readalongs and Special Events, do we have to "join" like we do quests or just marking the book as read and participating in the book forum counts and you earn the badge?

    I apologize if these questions have been answered already but I seriously couldn't find the answers in past posts. Thank you in advance!

    I was a child with a child’s attention span. Many adults think this is no more than a butterfly’s, flittering from thought to thought, but they have forgotten how, in some children, it is as sharp and pointed as a stiletto.

    I love this. Kingfisher is such a keen observer of what people are like at different ages, and it makes an outsized difference in our very ageist/anti-child culture to not have everyone be vaguely 18-30 in her books.
