Drawing on five decades. Really? Eight books from the past five years, one only narrowly outside that, and a book from 2001. Were books before the 2018 really not that hopeful?

I would add “keep a reading journal”. I love looking back at my world maps, family trees, vocab lists, character analyses, theme highlights. They make great nostalgia and inspiration.
