Hi, Stephanie! This is a wonderful list. I am glad to see that we (as a group) have managed quite a bit of overlap while still covering the list with remarkable breadth!
I hope that your 4-yr old is feeling better...
You're right, we do have a lot of books in common.
Which Anne Tyler have you read? I just read The Accidental Tourist recently and really enjoyed it. There might be a slight bias however, as it took place where I am currently living, Baltimore.
