Good Reads
A friend sent out an email to a group of her friends asking for book recommendations. The response was great. So great that I compiled the list (most of them at least) into this handy-dandy visual with links to the books for reviews and to purchase. I think it’s a good variety of fiction and non-fiction and has something for everyone. Plus, they are recommended by people who have ACTUALLY read them so there’s that.
Update 02/11/13: I will continue to add to this list as suggestions come to me. And I will add them to the top of the list so you don’t have to scroll to the bottom.
