I Love a Challenge! As it happens, I run a couple of the reading challenges over at Great Middle Grade Reads, a Goodreads group that Elza and I run together. As per usual, I’m participating in the A to Z Reading Challenge, which means finding a MG book to read for every letter of the alphabet. And we also have a Series Challenge, which gives a gentle push to readers who’ve been *meaning* to finish that trilogy, quartet, quintet, or epic series.

This year, Elza has added a Read the Rainbow Challenge (ROYGBIV & Extended versions available), which has me eyeballing cover art more closely. I’ve picked a red book, and my next read fits the cobalt slot. Want to join in on the fun? Join the Goodreads group: Great Middle Grade Reads. And while you’re at it, follow the Middle Grade Carousel blog, where Elza and I post book quotes & recommendations, themes & games.

Here’s the graphic Elza made for the rainbow challenge:
