OOH Thanks!! Does it say why she picks those books? I noticed that Austen and the Bronte Sisters aren't on here. So i wanted to know why specifically these books were chosen

There's a lot of lists, maybe they're on another list. I'll let you know. It's true tho, Austen and the Bronte Sisters should be on that list.
