Books I Recommend

I love to read. Since English is one of my majors, that really isn't surprising. I typically like many types of books, but I have a real passion and penchant for romance novels. Below is a list of books that I recommend. Eventually, I'll type up a short tidbit about each book so that you have some idea what it's about. For now, I just have the author and title, but I have a tiny key below that denotes things like if the work is a romance, short story, or if it is part of a series. As always, if you have a question or a comment, drop me a line.

* = romance
^ = short story
+ = Part of the Bridgerton series
