Context: As Pagebound grows, we have been brainstorming sustainable ways to create more Quests that the community is eager to see. We're trialing a new idea for a community-voted Quest, inspired by a List. More info in the last post I made in Founder's Announcements.

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 86 Lists eligible for you to vote on, and you can find them in this spreadsheet.

There will be 3 winning Lists selected from different genre categories. You can vote for up to 3 lists from different genres. Submit your votes via this form through end of day April 8th. 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! The resulting Quest will not be open to book additions since there will not be anyone actively maintaining the book list (similar to when a Main Quest hits its 100 book cap and is closed to further additions).

If this is a good experience for the community, we plan to run this List nomination + voting process quarterly. Our goals here are to encourage quality List-making, give the entire community a voice in Quest creation in a sustainable way, acknowledge our Royalty supporters, and create some exciting, diverse Quests!

Thanks for voting! Jennifer & Lucy

Book recs for books that aren’t popular on Booktok/Bookstagram/Booktube? I’ll go first:

Self-Portrait with Boy by Rachel Lyon

Since March has officially ended what was everyone's favourite book this month? (If you can't choose a favourite then choose a top 3!) Mine was definitely Releasing 10 by Chloe Walsh 💕

Aloha Bookaholics!!

Here is your question of the day:

In honour of the chaos that is April Fool's Day.... If you could turn any book into a TV series or movie, which would be the most chaotic?? 🫨

Hey everyone!

The other day I saw a post of someone (I unfortunately don't remember their username) that had started a book and had noticed so many details that immediately called to them, many things they loved being mentioned, and it got me thinking... I'd love to know what is the one book that encapsulates who you are as a person. It's a great chance for us to get to know each other!

What is the one book (or series) that captures who you are as a person? It could be personality-wise, mention of many things that you love or are a huge part of your life, etc. Pick one and let us know in the comments!

I'm going to have the best time learning about everyone and maybe even add some new books to my TBR! 🎀

I personally don't like readers who judge others on what they read? Like what do others reading has with you, once i saw guy who reads non fiction saying how romance books don't count as reading and how you aint reader, like buddy, if you read you are reader, or a person who judges how much person read in a month or a year, i recently started counting books i read last year i didn't, i don't even know how much i read until i realized people actually count and make goals how much they wanna read, i never understand those readers, so share what you think :)
