Loved my #bookspin book for March!!!! It's a middle grade memoir of a girl growing up in Bosnia just before the war. She is just about the same age as me, so even though it was in a different country, it felt nostalgic. It was a perfect blend of personal, family, and national issues. I love how her culture was portrayed and was saddened by many turn of events. Now I need to read her YA account of the war years...

Thanks @thearomaofbooks and best wishes for your moving weekend!

#bookspin
@thearomaofbooks

18/110 which apparently is right at the average- I'll take it!

@dabbe #threelistthursday

My #Bookspin is a new release historical fiction I'm excited to read! My #Doublespin is a middle grade historical fiction told in verse; it also just received a Newbery Honor award and fits perfectly with Black History Month. Both historical, but very different settings!!

I‘ve read 33 of 104. Favorites: The Eyes and the Impossible, The Last Cuentista, and The Girl Who Drank the Moon!

It is interesting to think about which books have stood the test of time and which haven‘t!

This was an emotional read for me! I was in 4th grade in Florida when it happened. My class stepped outside to watch so I saw the explosion live in the sky. And in hindsight there were so many reasons to not launch that day 😔 The story was well told by the author.

This is a self-published middle grade book my friend wrote for his sons- I wasn‘t sure what to expect but turns out I was very impressed! Recommend for fans of The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen.

I've read 41 of the top 100! How about you?

This graphic novel lives up to the fantastic premise- characters escaping from their books at the NYC public library! An adventurous ode to books and readers!

January #Bookspinbingo Board is set! Already finished a short one!

@TheAromaofBooks

These #ShardlakeBR books keep coming up on my #bookspin list! I failed to start it last month, but I'll be sure to get it in now! My #doublespin is a middle grade book I'm looking forward to reading!

@TheAromaofBooks you're so right, now my year can truly begin! 😉

A few less books, but more pages than last year! 🎉

My Middle Grade #bookbracket!
It was so hard to choose between my top 3: First State of Being, Big Tree and Westfallen! It should really be a three way tie!

I read a lot of mediocre middle grade this year (for an award committee), but there were some great ones too!

I don't feel as strongly about this winner as I did last year about The Covenant of Water, but here it my 2024 #bookbracket!

Thanks for the bracket design @catsandbooks

December #Bookspinbingo results! I ran out of time for #authoramonth

Planning to continue #Bookspin this year, so here's my list! @thearomaofbooks 📚

One more #jolabokaflodswap2024 post with my gifts (plural!!!) from @Julsmarshall who was so sweet to send extra goodies my way! I love it all- books, chocolate, and earrings! Thank you so much! And thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing!

My #jolabokaflodswap2024 gifts! Extra special thanks to @Julsmarshall for spoiling me with a birthday gift too!!! And Texas chocolates- how fun!!! Thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon too!

Today‘s #middlegrademonday theme might seem odd timing, but this is for all the December birthdays that tend to get overlooked (mine is tomorrow)! All are invited to play! Can‘t wait to see your posts!

Read this for #bookedintime @Cuilin I skipped over this one when it came out, but I‘m so glad this challenge brought it back to my attention! The humorous tone reminded me very much of Doomsday Book by Connie Willis which I loved!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My #jolavokaflodswap2024 package arrived from @Julsmarshall 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
