Happy Birthday! 🎉 Thanks for sharing these titles. Many I have never read. I loved Foster by Claire Keegan but have never read her other books. Homegoing is an all time favorite for me too.

You’ll love Keegan’s other work. I’m 99.75% certain.

I immediately put a hold on The Bee Sting at my library! And Homegoing is one of my all time favorites.

Thank you for this list - and what a fun idea! Do you do this every birthday? It would be so interesting to start from scratch each year, without looking at previous years' lists, and see which ones repeat!

I don’t do it every year, but that’s such a fun idea!
