Greetings! Just wanted to drop by and officially welcome you to the challenge. I am so glad you decided to join us!!
Great list! I haven't decided whether I'll play in this challenge or not. If you're still looking for suggestions, Elijah's Coin by Steve O'Brien is a good one. It's suspense, but also has a deeper message along the lines of "Five People You Meet in Heaven" and "Pay It Forward."
