Not exactly reviews:

Margo Dill's Read These Books and Use Them! offers some discussion possibilities for Sharon Creech's Unfinished Angel.

Story Sleuths has an excellently thoughtful post on point of view in Laini Taylor's Blackbringer.

Miscellaneous:

The Goddess Girls are on tour--here's a guest post by their creators, Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams, at Cynsations, that includes the full tour lineup. Athena the Brain and Persephone the Phony, the first two books in the series, are out this month.

On April 26, the Enchanted Inkpot Book Club will begin discussing The Book of Three, by Lloyd Alexander--a classic of middle-grade fantasy. If you haven't read it, now's your chance!

Betsy at Fuse #8 is up to Number 2 in her compilation of the Top 100 Children's Novels. Will number 1 be a fantasy, like numbers 2, 3, and 4?

(I'd really appreciate it if anyone felt like spreading the word about these round-ups I do, and thanks, all of you who have already!)
