  1. Umm, wow! This is incredible! I haven't been able to put a list together, but you've certainly inspired me to look into some of the books you've shared here :) Do you by chance have a Goodreads account? If so, it would be amazing to have you share this list with the Keyword Reading Challenge Group! Just to throw out some suggestions ;)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
