Here’s another list of curated books for the book lovers who love to read about books! This is a request I see often enough, that I thought I’d create a reading list for book-themed books. Some of the books recommended are found in the general market, but are clean reads. You can always check the blog to see if I’ve reviewed some of the recommendations below (and I have read many of them!).
