This is an occasional feature in which I curate a small list of books that make me think, “I can’t believe I haven’t read that”. Then, you vote on which book you think I should read in the following month. The intention is that I’ll ‘catch up’ on books I ‘should’ have read ages ago and finally be able to discuss those books with my fellow book lovers.
Here are the topics and winner from each post in the series. The chosen book from each is reviewed in the following post.
