Book recommendations, reviews, and reading lists.

Welcome to Read & Recommend
I'm Josh, and I built this site to share my beloved pastime of reading. I scour the internet for my next read and every time I finish a book I'm left with a hangover that needs a remedy. That is what this site is, my TBR and my book hangover remedy. This site is where I share what I've found, what I loved, and what I think you should read next.
On this site you'll find:
- Curated book recommendation lists across genres
- Honest takes from readers
- A throwback retro corner of the internet (because it was better back then)
