A Grab Bag of Personal Booklists

Books: 29
Follows: 29
Updated: 1y ago

All personal picks. My reviews aren't objective: the only standard is whether a book suits my taste. I only keep books I paid to read and don't regret buying, so I can reread them when I run out of things to read. I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks. I'm the one who paid for the books, not the authors paying me. I prefer sci-fi, historical fiction, supernatural stories, and entertainment-industry fiction, mostly with one female lead or no female lead. I'll admit it: I'm a sucker for cheesy wish fulfillment. I don't care if it's wholesome, as long as it's satisfying.
