There isn't much I can say in the way of introduction but if you're looking for more ways to add books to your TBR list and want to find authors that are new-to-you, you can't go wrong with Book Riot's second offering in their Start Here series. I definitely appreciate the Douglas Coupland chapter, since that's an author that I haven't ever read and wasn't sure where to start. I love how each contributor has his or her own way of arranging their chapters.
Dear FTC: I was a backer for the Kickstarter (thanks Rebecca) so I received this copy of the ebook for free.
