For this month, I have some buddy reads, some ARCs, and some books from my 2023 reading plan. Ive not been feeling great lately, so I apologise if my voice doesnt sound great in this video. Ive increased the volume to compensate, and hopefully that covers much of the issue!

Here, I give eight recommendations from my library, all of which are titles released in the 1980s or 1990s, and that are predominantly overlooked on BookTube. 0:00 Intro 0:00 Magician, by Raymond E.
