This time it will run from a Sunday to a Sunday.

Alright, time for the final round up for our Marvelous Middle Grade read-a-thon.
Charlotte of Charlotte's Library did a round up of her reads for the week:
Charlotte's Library: Middle grade read-a-thon wrap up
I did mine yesterday and am still in fact finishing up three books, including Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu, which is going to be one of my favorite reads of this marathon.
If you've loved doing this and don't want to leave Middle Grade too far behind, do check out Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays that Shannon Whitney Messenger started. Each Monday we talk about favorite middle grade reads, do interviews, share brand new books, look back at the classics.
Seeeoooooo....I should probably announce the winners of the giveaways? Have them all done--well, after having Charlotte win on of the books she was donating for the giveaways....yep.

Yay! So excited that you'll be hosting the MMGR again later this year. I will definitely be looking forward to it. =)
ReplyDeleteEep! I won The Book of Wonders! So excited, because it sounds so good.
I know on Book of Wonders, eh?! It's a for sure read for me.
ReplyDeleteoh congrats everyone and thank you from all my kids at Snarkymamma. Really it was a fun time, I have not ever read out so many MG books over the week and it was a blast.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda like being a kid in a candy factory. I'm nearly paralyzed with indecision on what I should read next. (And my Goodreads to-read queue already has more than 100 books in it.) Why do I want to write again when there are so many good books already out there?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to offer some ARCs or eARCs for Wicket Season for your Oh Canada read-a-thon.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Kim--I so hear you on the decision making when it comes to picking your books. The readathon helped me just pick em and read!
ReplyDeleteGabrielle (angelhorn)...thanks! Would love to take you up on that offer. Could we go with ARC's? Email me at justdeb AT debamarshall DOT com and we can talk more. Yay and congrats on your upcoming book! For those who'd like to check it out ahead of time :
