BiblioFiles #78: The High School Booklist Game

The rules: each contestant must name the one book they think must absolutely be discussed in each grade of high school. The catch: once a book has been named, the author of that book can no longer be used by anyone for the rest of the game. We’re ending 2020 with a little listener-suggested fun!
