It's no secret that I love books across all kinds of genres and subgenres, and thus have a larger pool of potential favorite books. Also, I'm a hugely indecisive person when left to my own devices and decisions. But! over the years, through rereading and sheer love, I've narrowed my list (yes this is the reduced version) of those books I simply could not go without reading for more than a year. And so, here are a list of my favorite books and the brilliant writers who wrote them down for meeveryone to enjoy.
