If you need another good reason to come to Kidlitcon this October, the lovely folks at Papercutz are giving two most enticing looking graphic novels to every attendee! Scarlett #1: A Star on the Run
by Jon Buller and Susan Schade, and The Red Shoes and Other Tales, by Metaphrog! Just a reminder, the early registration rate ends August 15! And it is not to late to submit a session proposal (Aug. 1 is the deadline for that). So if you have a burning desire to talk about something, do let us know!
And finally, in as much as August is just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about applying to be a panelist for the Cybils Awards. Here's a post I wrote a while back explaining what's involved.
Love your round-up, as always. And thanks for the reminder to sign up for KidLitCon/submit session proposals. I will get on that.
ReplyDeleteI love your roundups! I love to read fantasy books and review middle grade and young adult books on my blog. This week, I reviewed The Unwanteds books 1-3. My favorite middle grade fantasy series is Keeper of the Lost Cities. http://www.pagesforthoughts.blogspot.com/
