Hey everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So a few weeks ago, I wrote a post called Introducing A New Segment For Underrated Books<\/a>. In it, I explained something new I wanted to do on this blog. Basically, what I wrote was: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every month I will read one or two books that fall into one or more of these categories. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-A book published more than two years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 A book I have never seen anyone talk\/write about or recommend. Books that don\u2019t have a lot of online presence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 A book with less than 500 ratings on Goodreads.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I started searching for books that fit into these prompts, I wanted to write a post about books that I have read in the past which I feel are underrated. This post is a list of books like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love all of these books and I highly recommend them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Waiting For Regina by Curtis W. Jackson <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Waiting<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waiting For Regina<\/em> follows the story of a young girl called Mispha, a dark girl from a Haitian-Jamaican black family, and her friend Regina from the time they are in high school to adulthood. It is described as a coming-of-age story and is built around the theme of racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a very sad but heartwarming book. The simple message was to stop discriminating. It is a short read and I recommend it to everyone looking for a book dealing with racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Soul of a Wanderer by Jayasekaran Pillai<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Soul<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is a collection of short stories containing the author’s experiences in various parts of India. This is a book that not only takes us on a tour of various places in India but also tells us a lot about humanity. The book includes pictures and short chapters. The stories are touching and all of them give an important message.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Bloodwalker by L.X Cain<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Bloodwalker\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The reason I recommend this book is that you can rarely find an amazing paranormal stand-alone book. I found the plot very intriguing- Children are being kidnapped by a clown in Budapest, Hungary and a security chief of a circus is trying to catch him. Meanwhile, a young girl arrives in the city. She belongs to the Skomori clan which consists of bloodwalkers. Read this book if you’re looking for an exciting book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. What are you reading? by Bragadeesh Prasanna <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This short story should be read by all avid readers and aspiring authors. It addresses the importance of reading for a writer. It addresses the huge amount of meaningless works of writings today and how it affects us. This is an honest and well-written short story. that I highly recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Constant Guests by Patricia Nedelea<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Constant<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This book is the perfect example of a book with a complex plot that is well-written. It is a mixture of historical fiction, mystery, and fantasy. It took me a while to read it and some parts got boring with too much information. However, my mind was blown by the time I was done reading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it for t<\/strong>oday! I will be posting the second part of this list very soon. Hope you all enjoyed this post<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
