Books that Matter!
Life-touching Books You May Want to Read
What are you reading this summer?
Teachers talk. Lately, we've been talking about books, so many books that we started making a list.
A list of which books really stay with us, which books are meaningful, books that we wish other people would read, or what we think everyone should read.The Woods faculty is sharing this list with our community of high school readers, throwing out titles that you might like or even need. You'll probably have some time to read this summer--check out a book!
