Pretty sure that "Saving CeCe Honeycutt" needs to be cleaned, considering it came out in 2010....

and it says there are 79 titles on The Millions list, so since there are 100 here, there are obviously more that don't belong here....

Eh. Some of it is people that just don't understand what's going on, & that's fine, I totally get it; and maybe it will help those people.

Some of it is obviously authors/rabid fans (I'm looking at you, M.W. Russell and Marcelle Bartolo-Abela) that added what looks like their entire backlist in an...effort to get people to read their books b/c they thing they were on the Millions list? I dunno. Those probably won't stop & will continue to need cleaning.

Have a great Tuesday!

Looks good to me--I deleted Claire accidentally the first time because of the spelling difference from the Millions' list, but I'm the one that added it back on, so I suppose it evens out. Thanks for working on that!
