Suzanne's 2006 Reading Record Comments
  I got permission from Suzanne to post what she was reading this year. Suzanne didn't grade the books when she read them but I asked her too. The books are in alphabetical order rather than when she read them. The date is the date I read the book- if I did. She didn't have comments on the books so I left her letter grade and added the Amazon keywords. I converted her letter grades to my 0-9 scale. The links below go to Amazon.com (click the title or the book image)
