Your Highness, Your Secret Identity Has Slipped Again

Finished Books Recommended by a Veteran Reader

Maybe I've read too many books, because I can't get into a lot of them and drop them after about three chapters. If I can finish one and enjoy it, it's definitely a gem worth sharing! I'll update this list from time to time. I've read every book on it myself, though I can't guarantee everyone will like them. 😍
