In the blink of an eye, we have suddenly found ourselves with the last edition of The Book Club for this term.

As we slowly approach the end of the school year, I find myself looking back not only on the past few months, but the past few school years. While taking my trip down memory lane, I came up with this week’s prompt – books we all, or at least most of us, had to read…
