Laura Ingalls Wilder: Individual Titles Set (6 Copies Each) Level R
Reading
But oh, the books, and the surprises! The most-nominated books were Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books, which I'm reading with my four-year-old right now. https://t.co/p9VbKukd4b

Ender's Game
Orson Scott Card
Why, given Orson Scott Card's positions on LGBT people, is he on this list? I totally disagree with those views. I also think "Ender's Game" and "Speaker for the Dead" are remarkable and empathetic. Teens are old enough to engage with the dissonance. https://t.co/LYZ1w49IFi

Matrix
Lauren Groff
Extremely Niche Tweet, but: Am finally reading Lauren Groff's Matrix and all of you who didn't tell me that it's a grown-up, sexy alternative A Proud Taste For Scarlet and Miniver have done me a disservice.

The Satanic Verses
Salman Rushdie
If you haven't read #TheSatanicVerses, better late than never. It's a tremendously wonderful book, and I can think of few better gestures of support for Salman Rushdie than reclaiming the novel as a work of literature. https://t.co/rIDm9XAW4a

Lonesome Dove
Larry McMurtry
If you'd like an absolute master class in how to employ some of these techniques, watch the video in this piece of @jamestalarico questioning one of his colleagues about whether a bill would get Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove banned from Texas schools: https://t.co/5Dw3SFA4pH

Fifteen
Beverly Cleary
6) Beverly Cleary's young-adult novels, which virtually no one knows exist, but are the perfect introduction to the emotions and confusions of starting to date. Set in the early 1960s, but timeless. Fifteen and Sister of the Bride are my favorite. https://t.co/ZM0oFXkITA
