Desert Island Books - What Three Books Would I Be Stranded With? @dominishbooks

dominish_books | Desert Island Books - What Three Books Would I Be Stranded With? @dominishbooks | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
I was asked by @ToriTalks2 to pick the three books I would be stranded on a desert island with. Now, I may have overthought this a bit, but I have an answer! Check out my selections, and my reasoning for and against various books, here.

I'm still ill at the moment, so I apologise that the audio isn't the same as normal, it's been basically impossible to sound right when I'm not right myself!
