A YA Books meme has been circulating recently (I saw it here). Arbitrary list or not, I thought it would be interesting to see what I have (and haven't) read and to link to the books we have in the PRHS library. So here we go!
Instructions:
Put an "X" next to the books you've read
Put a "+" next to the books you LOVE
Put a "#" next to the books you plan on reading
Tally your "X"s at the bottom
