The Everything Else:
Juliet Marillier is this week's Fairytale Reflections guest at Seven Miles of Steel Thistles, and for more fairy tale fun, visit Favorite Fairy Tales of People Past, at SurLaLune.
The Animorphs are being given new life! This doesn't mean all that much to me personally, since when the series began in 1996 I was doing a lot more pool playing than reading juvenile sci fi/fantasy, but I'm looking forward to trying them on my Young.
Five sci-fi children's books (which don't actually exist)--my favorite is shown at right.And this isn't middle grade, but I'm mentioning it because I want to be eligible for the Grand Prize--Beth Revis, author of the upcoming Across the Universe, is having a giveaway of awesome proportions, with 100 prizes!
I think that's all--but please let me know if I missed something!
(people are starting to steal my round-ups in their entirety for their own posting pleasure--if you are reading this somewhere else, it's been lifted from me without my permission).
Thanks so much for including me!
ReplyDeleteThank you, for your review, P. M.!
ReplyDeleteI love these round-ups! Helps keep me informed on what's out there for one of my favorite genres. Thanks, Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteThanks for including a link to my review!!
ReplyDeleteYour Sunday round-up is always so useful for finding books for some of my nieces and nephews. Thank you for doing this.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw that the Animorphs are coming back. I lived with them in the mid-90s when Allison was into them along with all her schoolmates.
You all are very welcome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. I loved The Charlatan's Boy, so I'm glad to see it getting a mention on your blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the great resource! I'm taking a month off to read, so I'll be checking out several of these books, I hope.
