books I love to bits

This here list is one of books I love to bits. That I love more than all the others and, if I'm going to be completely honest, more than most people. This is the list I would hand over if you want a recommendation or even if you don't. These are my people, stories, moments, and souls, the ones I continuously revisit. These are my favorites. In no order.
