The joy of Marvelous Middle Grade Monday

Lots of wonderful happening in the world of books and reading everyday of the week, but one of my favorites has always been Monday. Marvelous Middle-Grade Monday, that is.

How can you not love a day devoted to the amazing that is middle-grade. Because my school is a 7-12 I still have many students who are still reading middle-grade and that makes me all kinds of happy. I used to blog quite regularly on this day about some of my favorite recent reads and as I tip-toe back into blogging, it is part of the plan to do so again. And with more detailed reasons on why I love the books I do and what middle-grade is popular at my school. 

Get Read-y for 2012

Just signed up for Get Read-y for 2012 hosted by Loving Books. A great and fun way to read it up until December 31 and get ourselves ready for all those great reads coming in 2012 and read through some of those TBR piles that are teetering. And ya know because I am participating it will become my duty to read, read, read, read and read.

Sigh. 

It is a tough job...you know the rest of how that goes.

And, along the way I am hoping (well, I know I will) I will add to my book talk pile for my next visit with my old book club (speaking of that, hoping to start one out in my new hometown once 2012 gets moving along).

Tween joining in the fun of Get Read-y for 2012 and writing and working and preparing for the holidays it promises to be a fun and joy filled season!

Back with my to read list tomorrow.
