I have a confession to make. When it comes to recommending books to people, I tend to gravitate towards the same books or types of stories. If you've ever asked me for a recommendation, I've either talked to you about superheroes, unlikely warriors, or mysteries. Beyond those categories, I have another great literary love; Cinderella…
