Recommendation List

Yesterday I asked for book recommendations on Twitter, and I got a jillion responses. I started to take notes, and then some people asked me to share my notes with you so that you can have the book recs too, and then some people asked me for my own recommendations, so that's what I'll do in this post!

These are the books I got down (some with authors, and some without). Not all the recommendations I got are here, but this is most of them!
