A to Z Reading Challenge

Uncategorized

Pick a Letter. I’ve always liked the A to Z Reading Challenge at Great Middle Grade Reads. There are a lot of different ways to get the list done. Last year, I tried reading in alphabetical order, but that grew frustrating pretty quickly. I’d always be running across a book that sounded so *interesting,* but it didn’t start with the right letter. Made me grumpy. : )

Here are three books that start with “A” … all of which I enjoyed:

ART: I Want Frey

Galleries of Stone, , ,

There’s Something in the Galleries. When I brought FoxOfTwilight a proposal for a piece of art for this scene in Meadowsweet, I was enormously pleased with the results. Here’s a peek. The full illustration is under the cut. Have a look?

In Galleries of Stone, statues are people, too! More magic mountains, master sculptors, and found families can be had in both Galleries of Stone (complete in 3 volumes) and the new sequel series, Journeymen of Stone, Bk1: Farley.

BINGO progress

First Column. I find it easier to make a BINGO if I take a little time at the beginning of the month to create a mock full-cover board. I fill each square with titles that are already on my home shelves or waiting for my attention on my e-reader. Then, I choose the column or row I’m most excited about and … read!

August is already going well. (I haven’t quite finished Hummingbird yet, but maybe if I fold some laundry, I can squeak in some extra reading time!)

How do you choose what to read next?

Starry Reads

#amreading,

Battle Dragons by Alex London. A personal favorite, in part because I like dragons. But I never expected to love urban cyberpunk dragons quite so much. An action-packed set of stories that includes graffiti and gangs and illegal dragon racing. But at its heart, Battle Dragon is also about a family, and I love that. Bonuses: a quirky pet, dragon-based public transit, and an enby friend. Highly recommended!

A to Z Reading Challenge

New Graphic. As one of the moderators at Great Middle Grade Reads, one of my main jobs is setting up annual reading challenges. The A to Z Reading Challenge is a longstanding favorite for the group. Now we have a pretty new graphic that begs to be filled in!

I’m holding off filling this out for a little while because I usually get multiple titles for each letter during the year. Narrowing down a favorite is gonna be tough for some letters! Follow me on Goodreads to see what I’m reading!
