Get it? Like a discography, but instead of music, it’s books I’ve read? Anyway, ignore my dorkiness. Here are books I’ve read in the past but don’t have good enough recollections of them to create detailed reviews. Take these recs with a grain of salt, because if I don’t fully remember them, then I don’t have a completely accurate memory of how much I liked them. For example, I may remember totally not liking a book a few years ago because I couldn’t understand it, but my readers may think I’m completely crazy because it’s actually a great book. Anyway, here are my past reads—enjoy!
