I drop by now and then to update this list and share what I've been reading lately. When you love a book, you want other people to discover it too. If you like the books I recommend, please give them a like so I know whether everyone enjoys my picks. I haven't visited Qidian in ages. Now that I'm back, I'll have to dig around for books again and see if I can uncover any hidden gems. It's been a bit of a drought lately.
