New Reading List
Okay, sorry the title is misleading, it's not a new reading list for us. It's actually a new list for my daughter. I pay her $2 for any book she reads off of it. This is her new one for 7th-8th grade. I thought I'd put it up for any suggestions..... suggestions are always welcome! Just FYI, I make the list of some harder books to challenge her, and then some books just so she'll branch out and read a wide variety of genres, and some I just put on because I like them. :) She doesn't read without being required too, and she wouldn't read most of these without the monetary reward.
