Ms. Talley's Suggested Reading List

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some
few are to be chewed and digested."

--Francis Bacon, English essayist

(These books may not be appropriate for everyone, so please consider content and ask permission from parents or guardians.)

I believe that censorship degrades literature as art for art's sake, but please consider that just because something is available doesn't mean it is right for you. You can visit many sites to get book reviews, and also see your local librarian for recommendations .
