Book Recommendations
I’ve enjoyed reading since childhood but most of what I read was for the school curriculum, or non-fiction.
When I started university in 2014, I mostly stopped reading novels as I wanted to focus on my studies and so only read academic works.
Over the past few years, I’ve gotten back into reading and I’m thoroughly enjoying it…so I decided to put together a list of my absolute favourites, along with reviews.
I find large books quite daunting - I’m more of a short-story enthusiast. But you will find a large book or two in the list!
Although the link below takes you to the list, please be aware that the links in the list will take you to the reviews so spoilers be ahead!
See the list of my recommendations here. This list is ordered by date completed.
Note: it may not be relevant but I have read and enjoyed more books than listed and I hope to expand this list over time! (to include books I’ve read and books I read in the future) đ
