Thanks!

I finished:
~ The Ragazzi
~ The Harvesters
~ Schooling
and need WL replacements.
I would also like to trade out The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis, since I have already read it. This really shouldn't be considered a WL book since I read and reviewed it in the 1001 Review thread during February 2020. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining this or losing my mind I checked, and the review is still there. It isn't, however, linked to the page with all of the links, so you have to dig for it.

I also need to swap out So Logn a Letter, since I have already read it.
