The Best Books You’ve Never Read and the Top 5 Reasons You Should

Do you cheer for the underdog? I do. Are you one who roots for the less-popular-but-totally-worthy girl to get the guy in the end? It makes such a satisfying story when someone succeeds against all odds, when people finally acknowledge the merits of one who was wrongly overlooked before. I long to see the so-called …
