I have been reading your books takeaway since very early on. What I like about you is you say it pretty striaghforwardly, and you review books that you don't like also. It's not like, everything that you recommend it's your favorites. I like that approach, and although some of it didn't match by taste,, I love it because you are unique and not many are here that can say and talk about books that they didn't love.

everyone features things that they love, and have good things to say, it's saturating.

that being said, I love to recommend some books to you.

some books would release in near future and some already released.

Thanks for the comment! that means a lot. And this is a lot of books!

I actually just finished Scott's new book Rise Above and loved it. I posted a review over on my Goodreads, and it'll be here next month.

Some of these are on my list but others I haven't heard of yet. I'll look into them and see which ones stand out. Thank you! And always feel free to send book recommendations my way
