Thank you to all the generous writers who’ve participated
and to the bloggers who’ve included links on their blogs.
And thank you, readers.
Thank you so much, Michelle. Each new list has been a wealth of information. I have enjoyed looking up many of the books and can’t wait to read them.
Thank you for taking the time to send me your choices, Julie.
You’ve given us all a gift with these lists, Michelle – thank you.
I love Occupation, Angela.
I have posted some brief reasoning for my choices on my blog – it would be lovely if others would as well (and let us know!)

Thanks, Michelle. I’ve really enjoyed reading these lists.
Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much! And thank you to Janet and Cheryl Snell of Scattered Light Publications ~ I am honored!

Juliet,
wow! Thank you! I didn’t see this at first – and I didn’t even know about this list. Your “Horrific Confection” is just lucious!

Thank you for the list!
Two books I’ve personally loved this year:
Gogol in Rome by Katia Kapovich & The Admirable Miry Clay by Talia Reed.
Jo, thank you for your choices.
Thanks for visiting, Nanette and Divya.
Oh, wow, Michelle- I’ve totally missed all of these posts. Life has been a little crazy here but I want to go back through all of them and make my own list from all these wonderful lists!
Sorry to be such a late-comer to all the fun!🙂

Thanks for the link.
Love the title “some misplaced joan of arc”. It’s intriguing.
Hey, I’m finally surfacing from my pile of student papers and my final exam…These recommendations are a lot of fun, Michelle. I’m still amazed at how most people have come up with three different books. So many!
Thanks for doing this Michelle. I am enjoying reading all the lists. So many new books and poets to discover.
