One questions I asked all the interviewees in the Bookworm series was “what books do you always recommend?” because I like to know what books make other people happy. There were about 2 dozen (or more. I can’t count lately) to keep track of so I put them all in one place.
This is that place.

I read every post of the series, so I added books all along. If I’m wrong, I don’t want to be right.

All The Bright Places was so good. I don’t think the Art of Racing in the Rain will ever leave me. It was just so good.
