Here is a list of books that I received for "fun" HS book club books. I have still
not made my final decision, but I am working on it! Thanks so much for all of your
suggestions. A word of warning that I just cut and pasted answers so some books
appear more than once if they were suggested more than once. Thanks again for all
of your help!
