Books I Have Read (2)

 The Books I Have Read

"Reading one book is like eating one potato chip." ~Diane Duane

[This page was last updated on February 18, 2025.]

Once upon a time, I made another blog page...

This is basically a continuation, or part two, if you will, of my other blog page. I decided to make another because I started expanding my range of books that I read, in particular YA and Romance stories. I felt like it would be best to keep those titles separate from the series' intended for younger audiences (for obvious reasons). But no, not all of these are adult books. I moved some titles here from the other page since it was becoming tediously long to scroll through! 

So here we are, in a new phase of literature, but still on the same quest: Read all the books I have on my bookshelf and that my new friends frequently recommend to me.
