Two reading challenges of interest to MG SFF readers-- A Fairy Tale Readathon, hosted by Debz Bookshelf, and the eighth R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril (RIP) Challenge hosted by Stainless Steel Droppings
For those desperate to stay au courant with middle grade sci fi/fantasy, I (in a fit of madness) went through Kirkus' review from October 16, 2012 to the present and plucked out all the MG sff books, which I then made into a list. Why October 16? Because that is the beginning date of eligibility for this year's Cybils Awards contenders (I'll keep updating this list until October 15, the cut-off date).
Finally, here's a lovely round-up of lego libraries and bookstores at Book Riot. For example, the interior of Powell's:
Button styles
Thank you for the round-up. I'm off to look through your list.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick correction: It's The Lost Kingdom by Matthew Kirby (you put Hidden).
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks for the work that goes into this. I look forward to going through it every Sunday. :)
I am very worried about reviewing the Lost Kingdom, because I am pretty sure that Hidden is going to slip in there again...sigh.
DeleteThanks for sharing the roundup!
