FanFiAddict’s Recommendation Station

February 9, 2022 by David W 4 Comments

During TBRCon, there was some chatter about books that need a bigger audience and I took it to heart. When I first began blogging, yeah, I’ll admit it: I was only reading the big names so I could join the conversation and be one of the cool kids. Over the past several years, I myself (along with my FFA family) have taken a concerted effort to read debut novels and books by authors that deserve more readership. Well, below, we have started what I hope will become a running list of books/series that have either gone unnoticed, have cooled off after a hot start, will become hits, or are only reaching a certain percentage of their readership target. Help me help you buy checking out these amazing recommendations, or sharing some of your own!
