In addition to getting recommendations from others based on the challenge list, I also developed a recommendation list for others doing the challenge. I came up with something for everything except the last category. This list includes a lot of my favorite books.  These were the recommendations that I had before I did the challenge and in many cases, the one I read for the challenge were better than the one on this list.

Here is the challenge list I used in 2017.  It is the oldest one that I could find so I have started the blog in 2017 with this list.  Here is the blank list in case you want to use it:
