- Added 101 Positive Quotes to Get You Through
APRIL 16, 2020
- Changed some wording on the About RC page, in section about digital methods vs printing.
- Added a new page,
DECEMBER 9, 2019
- Some of the lists, including the printable / PDF lists have been updated. There have been a few corrections to titles, authors, categories (like adding "American Historical Documents" and "The Common Sense of the Exact Sciences" to more categories), typos, formatting, etc.
(I did upload some with a few changes in the spring without adding it to this page. Oops, usually I make a note of those!)
- If you re-download newer versions of my files you've previously saved, you may notice the file names have been changed a bit. That was to be more in accord with current Internet practices (caps can cause problems), and to possibly be more descriptive. For example, "authorPrint.pdf" is now "rc-author.pdf" and "RCHchron.pdf" is now "rc-henty-chron.pdf".
- Added a PDF version of the printable RC booklist without lines.
- Fixed link to the full-size cover of Myths Every Child Should Know on the Printable Books and Covers page. (I had it linked to half-size before!)

- On the Latter-day Saints & RC page: Added links to the entire "Faith-Promoting Series," switched to different substitute books about the Reformation, added another philosophy substitute, and fixed some broken article links.
