Book Club Titles
Below is a list of suggestions for book club books. You can search on Amazon for a
complete bio of each book. If the title has a star beside it, you will need to have your
parents sign their permission. For all books, you must buy your own book or borrow
from the local library. If you would like to select a title that is NOT on this list, you will
need to speak with me first.
