I've been getting quite some suggestions for books for this quest, so I thought it might be easier to have a specific place just for suggestions (if you've already commented books, don't worry about it, I've already have them written down 🫶).

Please ensure that the book has a sapphic romance/sapphic main characters that are important to the plot! And don't forget to write both the name and author of the book. Looking forward to your suggestions :)

one of my favorite things about pagebound is the diversity of all of us on here! it’s amazing to see everyone’s cultures reflected in the books we read and the lists we make, which has introduced me to so many great things i don’t know if i would’ve otherwise found.

in an effort to read more diversely in general, i would love to know an underrated book from your culture that you think deserves a spotlight! (also in an effort to selfishly expand my ever growing tbr :3 no, i will not be stopped!!!!)

edit: also it’s totally okay if your rec isn’t wholly “underrated.” it can be something underrated in a global context or on the pb community specifically. just whatever you think deserves a shout out, i’d love to hear about it!

Looking for a list of scifi and fantasy queer recommendations with (one or more) butch characters willing to risk it all for their love. Please and thank you 😘

Hello I need some help. This may have me sounding heartless and cold but I promise I’m not. Typically it is very difficult for me to get emotional and cry over a book, a movie, etc. Heck I didn’t even cry on my wedding day, meanwhile my husband wept the entire time. I cry pretty easily when I’m frustrated or angry though. Anyway… I would like to find a book that makes me cry. Preferably not just absolutely depressing, but maybe some sad crying/happy crying mixture? Idk open to any of the recommendations but note that it takes a lot to make me cry. So if you are someone who cries easily to books, feel free to suggest but maybe give me a disclaimer that you are that kind of person.

I think the only time I’ve cried in a book is at the end of the divergent series when I read it like 10+ years ago. And I might have cried when I read CC1 when a certain someone (L) died. Movies that have made me cry were when iron man dies in Avengers and a movie called October Baby which is about adoption and well, I’m adopted so that’s why I felt an emotional tie. There may be others but those are the only ones I remember.

Please help me cry! 😂

Hello everyone! I am currently reading North Woods by Daniel Mason, and it reminded me of this specific type of book; now I want to make a list! I hope this doesn't feel like yet another post about book recs; I'm looking for something fairly niche for my list.

There is a certain type of book I like to call "window books." It is a book where nothing really happens. It's like you're looking through a window into the character(s)'s life... the curtain opens, we observe, and then the curtain closes. Most of the time, there is no "resolution." You are around for a section of the journey, and then it carries on without you. I don't know if it has an actual name or not, but I'd like to make a list of these books!

This is where I need help-- I need two more books to actually create the list. So far, I have:

1. North Woods
2. The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-time
3. The Grapes of Wrath (I think this falls into this category.. but it's been years since I read it)

My criteria is fairly strict. The books cannot have the typical path of a novel with climax-resolution. The book might be extremely mundane. We should feel like the book ended but the story continued, like peeking into the window of someone's life. I hope this makes enough sense that I get a few recommendations for my list (and my TBR)!
