Recommendations

Personally, I love getting and giving book recommendations. Sharing my favorite books with others is a great experience, and it really gives you ways to connect with people. Therefore, I'd like to share some of my favorite books with you, in the hope that you might fall just as in love with them as I have.
Some of the topics may overlap, meaning that some books are placed in more than one category because I felt torn between just placing them in one.
