Heroines Who Conquered the World in Those Years
Empress novels have surged in popularity this year, and many have been excellent. It’s a shame there are so few of them. Most of the rest are strong female lead stories I enjoy. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had time to write up introductions for some of the books I’ve added. I’ll fill them in when I can. I’ll try to organize the list every year, and move completed books off it later. Hehe 😁 I changed the list’s name. Gotta keep up with the times 😬
