Favorites

I like books. I like reading in general. I love character stories and interesting plots and fantastically clever use of the English language.

Friends are often asking me for book recommendations, so I thought I'd put together a general list of books (and series) that I love, just so they can all be here in one place. I do have a Goodreads page, but this is a much more focused, curated list of the stuff I'm really passionate about. 

Some of these have been my favorites for a long time, and some of these I've read recently and their amazingness has lingered in my mind. This page is always under construction.
