TAYSHAS STARS ARE HERE!

bcplteens 7:43 AM

What did this post title just say????

Tayshas is Texas Library Association's annual reading list for high school students. The full list can be found here. 2013 marked the beginning of the Tayshas Stars -- the top ten titles from the list. The only book we do not have (at this time) is Master of Deceit: J Edgar Hoover and America in the Age of Lies by Marc Aronson.
