Recommendations
I was recommended a book (series actually). And as you may remember I don’t typically read the books someone recommends. Part of the reason is an irrational fear that if my assessment differs from theirs they will be offended, the other part being I just like to find my own stuff. I broke my own rule this time for 2 reasons: #1 is that the person recommending it was SO passionate about how great it is and told me enough to get me really interested without giving away any of the plot. #2 is that the person recommending them has such similar tastes to me that I genuinely felt that this must be great.
