Other things:

Excitingly, fantasy rules over at School Library Journal's Battle of the Kids Books! Keeper vs The Ring of Soloman vs Consipracy of Kings (come back from the Dead!)

Here (from me, Charlotte's Library) are the new releases of middle grade sff for the first half of April

Thoughts by Emily Asher-Perrin at Tor on the reality of Neverland

The Carnegie Medal Shortlist has been announced...mg sff is represented (I think, kind of) by The Death Defying Pepper Roux (but is this really sff??? I haven't read it)

And finally, Judith at Misrule has been compiling all the links of memories and obituaries for Diana Wynne Jones. Thank you, Judith.

  3. Thanks for these round-ups; they're great fun and very helpful for chasing down books!

    I have a book review blog, focusing mainly on children's and young adult books, and I am planning a review of the MG fantasy URCHIN OF THE RIDING STARS in the next week. Just a heads-up for the next round-up.

  6. Ah, great round-up this week. Always a great way for me to increase my TBR list (like that needed to happen)

    Best, was the round-up of Diana Wynne Jones thoughts. She was a giant and will be greatly missed.
