It doesn't have to be a classic, or the book you think is best. But just something that you really really like and want other people to know. It could also be something that shaped your love of reading. Or whatever you're reading now! I'd love to know what you're reading!

If my absolute favorite book is [The Hands of the Emperor](https://share.google/ID8EUnwDjqkoB35LB) by Victoria Goddard. It’s a very long, beautifully written, slice of life book about the personal secretary to the emperor of the world, with a heavy focus on platonic relationships.
My favorite books are memoirs:
*With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa* by E.B. Sledge, CPL, 1st Mar. Div., U.S.M.C.
*The Forgotten Soldier* by Guy Sajer, Großdeutschland Division, Wehrmacht (considered a classic).
*The Battle for Burma: The Wild Green Earth* by BG Bernard Fergusson, KT, GCMG, GCVO, DSO, OBE, 16th Infantry Brigade (Chindit).
*Ray Parkin’s Wartime Trilogy: Out of the Smoke; Into the Smother; The Sword and the Blossom* by Ray Parkin, Chief Petty Officer, H.M.A.S. *Perth*, Royal Australian Navy.
*Three Corvettes* by Nicholas Monsarrat, LtCdr, FRSL RNVR.[]()
*Japanese Destroyer Captain* by Tameichi Hara, CPT, IJN, Fred Saito and Roger Pineau.
*The Cretan Runner: The Story of the German Occupation* by Giórgos Psychountákis, Cretan Resistance Fighter.
