After More Than Ten Years of Reading, Here Are My Recommendations for Truly Great, Overlooked Books
I've been reading for over ten years and have carefully read thousands of novels. I only recommend high-quality books that have been overlooked. I've read every book I recommend carefully and genuinely think it's good. I can't stand formulaic, amateurish writing, clumsy prose, pretentious literary styles, or stories that torture the protagonist. None of that for me. Every book on this list is a clean read that suits my taste. Hope you enjoy them~ Maybe you'll find like-minded readers too~ Haha.
