Read this for #litsyscifibookclub I enjoyed the mix of characters. The plot was fast-paced and included a some mystery and a fun twist! The world of body modification was well-developed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Going out today! #jolabokaflodswap24

It's that time of year! The tagged book is a fun Parent Trap story of twins separated and adopted at birth who discover each other at their grandparents' retirement home. One has been raised Jewish, the other secular, so swapping at the holidays has some big implications! But it's mostly sweet fun! I'd love to hear your holiday recommendations on this #middlegrademonday !

My December board is set! Thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

A Christmas book for my #Bookspin and a newish release that I already have checked out in Libby for #Doublespin!

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !

Out of the blue had one of my best reading months ever! I caught up on several middle grade historical fiction which I love. I started Prophet Song, but not sure I'm going to finish, struggling with the style- I would love for someone to give me a reason keep going! @thearomaofbooks #bookspinbingo

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone in the US! I love the use of a grandparent/grandchild relationship to frame a historical fiction story. The tagged book does that along with a crazy adventure! Another good one is The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh. I can't wait to see your selections for this #middlegrademonday

My usual trio: an audiobook, a middle grade book and a bedtime book (which happens to be my #doublespin and #authoramonth book!)

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday

To start off nonfiction November, let's share memoirs for #middlegrademonday !

The tagged is about the author's trip to Europe in his middle school years and captures all the insecurities of that age so well. Graphic memoirs like this one are becoming quite the trend!

I read this and very much identified with a lot of the emotions!

Thanks for hosting yet again @TheAromaofBooks

It was a challenging month, it included some children's lit class requirements but also some enjoyable reads!

#wickedwhispers #blood
This is one of those almost too crazy to be true stories! Don‘t read it if you need to boost your faith in humanity!
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This makes me so happy!!!!

#wickedwhispers #dread
I‘m currently reading another alternate history by this author!
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Low pick for this #authoramonth book. This was my second Tana French book and I think I can safely say she is not for me. I liked the mystery, but her characters are very unlikable to me. Not terrible, but so much else out there that I enjoy more!

@soubhiville

#middlegrademonday #horror
It's the season for all things spooky and scary! I think Lindsay Currie hits all the right notes with her middle grade suspense/horror/mystery stories! What would you recommend?

Both the book and the movie are excellent!

It's #middlegrademonday once again! Let's share ghost stories!

I loved the tagged book because it's perfect for kids on the older end of middle grade but not fully ready for YA. And it's set in Scotland!

Any and all are welcome to play along!

This book was a drag but I love the Stephen King quote that inspired the title!

#wickedwhispers #witch
Twist on Anne of Green Gables where Anne tries to apprentice herself to a prickly witch who eventually warms to her 😉
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

#wickedwhispers #unknown
This isn‘t spooky in the Halloween way, but it‘s haunting in its own way!

#wickedwhispers #candy
One of my favorite MG mysteries!

My current read!

#wickedwhispers #zombie
I liked the epistolary style of this one! (Nothing like the movie that followed)
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This week's #middlegrademonday theme is inspired by our family's trip to the ER this weekend that ended in an appendectomy for my son! I also love the tagged book- a heartfelt story about a girl dealing with her mother's illness. I'd love to hear your recommendations!

#wickedwhispers #bats
Just read this fun middle grade book- a self proclaimed mostly true tall tale about how the largest urban colony of bats came to live in Austin, Texas.
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I won a copy of my #bookspin book through Goodreads so it's sitting only nightstand waiting for me to start! And my #doublespin is the next read for the #shardlakeseriesbr , already on hold at my library! The combo of a new release and an older title is perfect!

Back to the reality of grad school demands on my time! But not too shabby considering...

Just for fun, this week is numbers in titles! This new one from Ben Guterson will appeal to fans of his well-loved Winterhouse series- it's set in a department store with secrets instead of a hotel. What others can you think of for #middlegrademonday?
