Closing Thoughts

I have plenty of other really wonderful recommendations for some of these prompts, so feel free to reach out if you need more ideas! I didn’t take the same care of making sure all of these books are less popular the way I did for #FallInLoveBingo, but I think for the most part, there’s a good mix here. Please feel free to share your own recommendations below as that will only help other people find recommendations for themselves!
