This has nothing to with the contest, but everything to do with that first part... I am THRILLED that you'll be focusing on MG titles as I am a big fan of them myself and I can't wait to discover new books through your blog. I'm currently reading a great one right now (The Black Book of Secrets by F.E. Higgins) that I will likely be done soon and will post a review today.
ReplyDeleteI often have MG titles on my blog, but they are mixed in with the adult fantasy, mystery and YA titles since I have a wide range of books. I don't know if you read my blog often (or at all - and I'm not asking! ;)) but if you do check it out you can find my MG under "young reader 9-12" which is how the bookstores up here list them on the shelves. ;)
Looking forward to this!
I'm very exited for your transition. I recommended my own blog if you are looking for MG reviews. My blog is YA and MG but I got a ton of MG books at BEA this year and I plan on doing some feature reviews specifically for MG books and authors - so stay tuned :)
ReplyDeleteA great MG book I read recently is The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams by Rhonda Hayter.

ReplyDeleteI've loved all the MG reviews you've done, so I'm happy you're making the transition official. I can't wait to see some of the new stuff you review here :D
ReplyDeleteHmm. I saw this giveaway a couple days ago, but usually I comment if I filled out the form. But I think I might've, so if thats the case, please delete my last one!
