After seeing the response to my question on stories asking for some book recommendations I have decided a stories recap just wasn’t going to cut it. I have formed a blog post that I hope you can use as a reference whenever you are on the hunt for a new book, I know I will not be in need of a new book anytime soon with all these awesome ones to choose from. As I was typing all the books into this post things were starting to get jumbled, so I made categories. The first is books I have read and also recommend. The second is book I have not yet read but MULTIPLE people said they are great reads. The third are other books that got great recommendations and I plan to read too! Without further ado!
