Ms. Glenn’s Bookshelf

           Some of these books are childhood favorites, some are favorites because I appreciate a slightly warped sense of humor (Roald Dahl’s books, for example), and some are favorites because I REALLY like scary stories!

           I like fiction more than non-fiction as a rule so you might not find many non-fiction titles on this page.  I’ve included some of my all-time favorite “grown-up” titles as well, in case you’re a teacher or parent looking for something to read for yourself.

           Feel free to suggest some of your favorites for me to read.
