Marilyn's What I Read in High School

Marilyn's What I Read in High SchoolMeet Marilyn:  My name is Marilyn and I have been an LA for about a year and a half. Long ago (!) my first job was shelving books in the local library. Now I am working at the library again and it is my dream job.  I love to read (if I love a book, I will read it again and again and again) and cross stitch and knit and play organ for church and... well, you get the idea. 

 

Meet her list: I had the idea for this booklist when I started thinking about what I used to read when I was in high school and what I still read. Lo and behold, many of the books I read then are still out there in library land and STILL ones I like to read. Did you read any of these back when?  I did and I still love to read them now. Got to be something good there!
