My list is here. I decided to list lots of possibilities and then just read however much I have time for.
Here’s my list, though I may change it if something catches my eye!

My list is up here but I may try and read more if that is ok!
General comment- don’t forget you can get most if not all of these books fromthe local library!
Suggestions-Once and Future King and Mists of Avalon are both classics and I highly recommend them. I could easily re-read them, but I am in this to try something new.
So I plan to start with TA Barron or Jane Yolen since I haven’t read either of them.
