[LM_NET] HIT:Middle School Romance (long list)

[Frankie Wade <fwade@SCSK12.ORG>]

Thanks to everyone who replied!

Original Post: Apparently, Twilight has triggered the return of romance
novels to middle
school. Iıve had more requests for romance novels lately, so I have two
questions for my more experience colleagues. Is The Notebook by Nicolas
Sparks an appropriate book for middle school? It is labeled AD in Titlewave.
Also, does anyone have a list of romantic novels that are popular in your
middle school library? Thanks for sharing.
