See my booklists on bookshop.org (an independent alternative to Amazon). I am an affiliate of the site and will get a percentage for any books order via my page. As a result, I have been careful to write a couple of sentences next to each of my choices to demonstrate how I have found them useful and/or interesting (rather than having simply listed them.)
