You should see a "remove books from this list" option underneath the one for "combine duplicates," when you hit edit.

I thought that edit button only edited the list description, not the entire list. I feel dumb now. Thank you!! I'll clean the list up tonight.

Ok, I think I got all the Sarah Dessens and other miscategorized ones. LMK if you see any I missed. And I edited the list description a bit.
Wait, what? I just added The Basketball Diaries and The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds but maybe they're too old... but they're def. classics!
Hi Cheryl, I agree that they are classics, but this list is specifically for "Gritty, realistic fiction published in the 1970's and 80's" and I remove any titles that don't fit that description. Sorry!
I also deleted Forever . . . because that doesn't depict a teen "in crisis." Deciding to have consensual sex with one's boyfriend is not a crisis.
