I saw this list posted on a Facebook group I am a member of: "What Should I Read Next". I get a lot of ideas from the group and enjoy recommending books as much as getting recommendations.
I'm not really a book challenge person and this is too many books for me to read in a year. When I looked at the list, I had a lot of books I have read that came to mind, so I'm going to go through it and list books that I have read and would recommend. I'll try to list more recent books. If there are blank ones or you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them!
