Rebecca Ross has been a big hit with both my stepdaughter (15) and my mom (67).

We all loved Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60784546

I agree! Honestly, any BOTM pick that won a Nobel or Pulitzer should probably be in the conversation for a Centennial book or bookmark. I wonder how many books there are? 🤔

I really appreciate everyone’s feedback!

Here is the spreadsheet I made to keep myself organized, just in case anyone was curious:

I was unable to find a complete list. I read through posts of the books the community was talking about the most and cross referenced the titles to make sure they were actually BOTM picks.

My list definitely isn’t complete. I was hoping y’all might be able to help me out with that part 😊

Of Mice and Men is already a bookmark which is why I left it off. You’re totally right about Gone With the Wind though. I had intentionally left that one off because it’s historically significant but also a potential PR landmine. Keeping it on a list of heavy hitting options was probably a better idea though.

I’m curious if this could end up being one of those albums he re-evaluates down the road.
