Hi Brenda-
 This spring LM_NET posted their lists of the most highly circulated 
titles for ES, MS and HS. Mackin converted these into consideration 
lists and ,since you have a Mackin account, I  placed the middle school 
list in that web account and it is titled LM NET MS.We also just 
published our latest version of Compendium (the latest, greatest and 
best-reviewed by  level), which can be accessed from our home page
Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover by Ally Carter (Gallagher Girls #3) 
Thirteenth Child by Patricia Wrede 
The Silver Door by Holly Lisle (Moon & Sun #2)
Thanks Again!
