I've been in a bit of a rut now that the most recent Dungeon Crawler Carl book is out. I've done all the rereads and I can't seem to shake it! The fun setting, the high energy atmosphere, and the compelling storyline… Help me find the next all-engrossing read!
I'd love something escapist (sci-fi, fantasy, historical, wildly unrealistic, etc) without too much romance (subplot is totally fine!). Mostly, what's a book that you could not. Put. Down.
