    Nice selection, it will be hard to pick one!  I loved the 15 on this list that I’ve already read!

    I’m with you, Meagan. It’s not going to be easy for me to decide who to vote for either. There are some really excellent books on that list!

    BTW, for those who’d like a little intro of each book, we’re posting those over at the CSA site. If you haven’t subscribed to those posts, you might want to do so in order not to miss any of them.
