If you have a specific book rec you want to ask for, like specific tropes or themes or whether it's clean or not, feel free to ask here :)

There’s a nonfiction book, it’s called Dewey. It’s about a cat and the life of those who love him. It made me cry, but I was younger when I read it. It’s good though.


✨Grace✨(JESUS FREAK) | 87 comments Skyward Flight by Brandon Sanderson is really good, there’s a whole series

✨Grace✨(JESUS FREAK) | 87 comments Oh, actually not sure if Skyward Flight will make you cry, but it’s a really good book to read

River Secrets (books of Bayern, #3) made me laugh and it was clean! It's part of a series but I read it without having read the first two and it was fine. It's a good book!
Also I know the holidays aren't for awhile but once they come around I recommend reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It's more or less a little kid book, but it cracks me up every time!

awesome thanks guys!

Oh and Delaney may I ask what your full name is? I've tried guessing but I really don't know... it's ok if you don't want to share it though :)
