At the end of my Kickstarter for The Labyrinth of Flame, I ran a contest for backers who wanted the chance to have their reward upgraded. To enter the contest, the backer had to recommend one book he/she thought more people should read. This is the collated list of the entrants' recommendations.
Score
A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book.
