How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

Lois Lowry series

In discussing several books at book club, I was surprised to find out how many people didn't realize The Giver by Lois Lowry is book one is a series.  I had always assumed there were 3 books, but according to GoodReads, there are 4:  The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son.  I think it's time to re-read some old favorites!
