I have had the privilege of reading each of the novels you will find below. And it truly is a privilege, even if I ultimately find the story not one I particularly enjoy. Because behind every book, there is someone who put an enormous amount of effort into producing what my eyes devour. To all the authors and all the storytellers, thank you for pouring your hearts and souls onto a page and having the sheer audacity to share it with others. I don’t know what I’d do without you.
