In Love with Romance Books

Help me give my students the popular romance novels they are pining to read!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wiltse's classroom raised $850

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have spoken this fall, and they have told me loudly: We do not have enough romance books! My romance readers are my most prolific, often reading three or four books a week. Our collection only has about 70 romance titles. So, it's no surprise that our juniors and seniors have read every romance book we have.

We need to get these readers some new love stories fast!

With your help, I know I can serve their needs. Let's keep these students falling in love with reading. This list includes all of their recommendations.
