Michelle, thanks! This was so much fun. I was surprised to learn more about what makes me tick than I expected in the process of answering your simple yet thoughtful questions.

I'm so glad this was fun for you, Linda, because it was for me. I love to learn tiny personal details about people, as well as their preferences and, of course, the books they love to read. Thank you so much for being part of this!

How wonderful that you've kept a "Books Read" list going for more than 30 years! It must be great fun to look back and enjoy the memories conjured by each one. 'Loved getting better acquainted with you, Linda, as you shared! Not surprised your favorite color is sea glass!

Such a delight to see my friend Linda here! We have followed each other's reading lists for years, so I love seeing this breakdown of her long-time favorites and current reads, as well as more things about her in general. She is definitely a wonderful human being who passes along grace in full!

This was a great interview! I've been following Linda's blog for several years, but, as others said, I still learned some new things!

When all was said and done, I'm guessing I learned a whole lot more than anyone.

I enjoyed Linda’s interview, Michelle. And it’s a delight to find Library Binding. I enjoyed browsing through all the writers, authors, and illustrators, you have highlighted. And I enjoyed the creative way you presented the information via graphics.

Since I'm an officially technologically terrified person, I have a deep appreciation for creatives like Michelle who are gifted in this way and so relaxed in the process. Sheer gift.

I just found this post. I already subscribe to Linda Stoll's Grace and Space, so I was interested to learn more about her. The 3 books that impacted her the most -- I have them all and they, along with Susan Cain's Quiet, have completely changed my understanding of who God created me to be. Thanks for this post.
