The list below is best looked at with a fixed-width font. I could convert
it to other formats if absolutely needed. (e.g. PDF, spreadsheet, etc.)
 The format here is a flat text "report" extracted from my book database
(implemented about 40 years ago).

The &NRG{First Last} is the one who first suggested the book (as far as I
know). The one with two people on it was first suggested long ago by
Richard, then became one of the three offered by Liz for this month.

I started keeping track of who suggested books in December 2020, then lost
track of the next three months before picking it up again. And missed one
more: Gun, with Occasional Music in December 2022.

If you know who suggested the four books with &NRG{???} on them, or have
any corrections, speak up.
