BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Have a book/author you think I'd enjoy? Let me know here! And no, there's no such thing as too many recommendations.
So give me authors, or titles or series and maybe even let me know why you think I or everyone should read them! Please feel free to also include reading orders or any other things you think I should know.
Genres I read most often include fantasy, urban fantasy, some science-fiction, romance, mystery, as well as Teen/YA books!
