Book Recommendations!

~Hey there!~
This list was painstakingly created by hundreds of Scratchers. It recommends a whole variety of books, with all types of genres.
We hope that you find it useful and find a book you might enjoy!

The original Forum was created by @ForeverAnAuthor, but she has not responded for some time, and books keep coming, so I decided to remake the forum! : )

Signed,
All the curators/managers at the studio: ‘Books’

('Books' was created by @Y7Willows, and this list is all the suggestions that many WONDERFUL Scratchers have recommended. Enjoy!)


And now, without further ado– The list!

Book Recommendations!

i recommend the oxford dictionary

Ok, seriously though, why make a topic if you don't want anyone posting on it? That goes against the whole point of making a topic…

Just put the list of recommendations in the studio description or something.

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!
