Top Book Recommendations

Book recommendations by genre...

Links included to my review or Goodreads—or both.

A guide: If the title of the book is a link, that connects to my review. The title of the series or "on Goodreads" will take you to the entry on the Goodreads website. Some of these books I read before I started reviewing books, and some series I'm currently working my way through, so the listings may not be complete.
