Hey! If you pick something that's added recently, like within this year or past few months, it would be appreciated, and try to pick nothing that sounds cringe, I have been being bombarded by them recently 😬. Pick one.

Hey Nathan! I am sorry for being late. I completely forgot about this. Hope you are doing good!

I will pick :

1) The Gilded Wolves
I have been seeing this a lot on my feed. Only the good things so far, so I would want you to read something good. And I checked that you read a lot of series, maybe you would like picking up a new one.

2) Upgrade
I have heard that Blake Crouch is a great writer and this book has a really high rating.

Hopefully, you enjoy!

I haven't read The Final Girls, and the horrors I have read recently have only disappointed me. Hopefully, this one breaks the chain.

I have been trying to pick up some diverse books, so My Sister, the Serial Killer seems like a nice choice!

It is a very good book, at least for me. I enjoyed reading it. Hope you too.

I have this book in my to-read list for some time now. Let me know how is it, if you read this one.

Happy Reading!
