Previously, I have posted about my hope to crowd source a modern booket list. If you don’t know what that is, check it out here. Anyway, I am pretty proud to say that we are at the halfway point. As the list continues to grow, I find myself asking many questions, which means, I need your opinions!!!
Should a book series count as a single entry, or should each book within the series get their own space?
Should their be a separate list for nonfiction books?
Should children’s books get a separate list?
And as always, what books should be added to the list?
