  1. Wow, what a great list! It’s taken me most of the week to finally get through it and check out the links. Some really great book lists here – I sent my son the link for 20 best fantasy novels, and he added to his TBR list! And I bookmarked some of the blogging stuff for later reference.

    I don’t know how you find the time to curate such great lists of content, but I appreciate it!
