Hey Jill,

I recently came across your blog.

Wondering why I didn't find it earlier as it has some value-providing stuff.

I sincerely loved the book recommendations from 2016 to 2020. These recommendations have made me update my reading list.

I was wondering if you would also like to update the resources you're linking to.

I found that you've linked to the article 25 women to read before you die from powells.com in this article.

I have just one got published, mine covers the details and the books written by 51 famous female authors who dominated the writing world. The article includes the names of a few female authors which theirs didn't. Also, I have provided a small tribute and achievements of close to 26 authors in this article.

You can check it out here: https://www.bx-zone.com/Blog/famous-female-authors-of-the-world.aspx
If you like it then feel free to link out to it from your article and share it.

Cheers,
Joey
