More info to add

Comment: All these books do seem to be in the publications section, I am adding the publisher to the entries but do you think it's a good idea to have a separate 'main books section? Happy to do this, if so. TheRegencyCook (talk) 15:23, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I like the idea of a separate main books; since she has so many books, it's nice to have a select, featured list! Ssharmin825 (talk) 06:41, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
