[LIT] summer reading

[Lucinda Marcello]

I read The Book Thief and Twilight after last summer's suggestions from you 
all. Such memorable books and many of my students devoured them on their 
own. This is such a great way to learn about new authors and titles. What 
other titles are others considering? The first book in a YA series can have 
lasting benefits.
