*Note: I recommend browsing this list from bottom to top.* Not many books, but every one is a gem. I’ve read each one closely, so feel free to give them a try. You’re unlikely to be disappointed, and I’ll clearly point out any problems. Every book on this list meets my minimum standards for prose, plot, characters, and worldbuilding, and has at least one standout quality or particularly strong element. My minimum bar is probably around the top 10–15% of books on the site. I’m looking for plots that aren’t padded, clichéd, or ordinary, prose that clicks with me, compelling worldbuilding, and an overall story that holds my interest. There aren’t many books that meet all of these criteria, and even fewer that I finish and continue thinking about. Every one of those is on this list. Hope you enjoy them. I’ll keep adding to this list over time. The books are all on my shelf, and I’ll move them here one by one when I have time. I want to give each book a thorough introduction, so it takes me a while to write them up. That’s all.
