    Hi Janet. Thanksk for posting these lists - I use them all the time. However, in checking these today, I found a few problems. Second title in list is Day of the Dead. Books that are not (Mexican) Day of the Dead: Day of the Dead-Belcamino; Day of the Dead Donelan; Day of the Dead Flashman); Day of the Dead French; Day of the Dead Giovanni; Oink Myers. Scrapbook of the Dead is Halloween, not DOTD. But I still found some new titles to read! Thanks.
