500 of Yannus McMannus's Best Reads

I have been a bookseller for over a decade. I read a stupidly stupid amount of books. I have tried to list my top 500 - only cheating a little bit by combining series. As this is a list of my personal faves, there will be no Austen, Bronte, Faulkner, JD Robb, Shakespeare or the last few Harry Potters in sight. It does include children's books, YAF, NF, poetry, bios and some guilty pleasures (like new Star Wars!). All great reads. Promise. ♡
