There's nothing fancy to it - just read middle grade books during the month of May and share them on social media with our hashtag. You can blog about middle grade books, tweet about them, post photos on Instagram, post about them on Litsy, share them with your Facebook friends... wherever you are on the web, share about what middle grade lit you're reading in May.
This year, I am so excited to be collaborating on #MiddleGradeMay with the wonderful Akoss and her YouTube channel. We actually met and bonded over #MiddleGradeMay last year. Check out her intro post here:
She's got it all planned out with themed weeks, so feel free to share your favorites for the themes each week OR just read whatever middle grade you want and tell us all about it.
Here are the themes for each week in May:
- Week 1 - Favorite memorable middle grade literature characters
- Week 2 - Favorite heartbreaking middle grade novels
- Week 3 - Favorite under-rated middle grade books (less than 1000 ratings on Goodreads)
- Week 4 - 2018 Middle grade debuts you want everyone to request from their Libraries
- Week 5 - Middle grade books that feature diversity in a positive and uplifting way
Annnnnd don't forget to check out our cohosts who will be posting videos in May:
- Edshara of SharaMeWithBooks
- Elizabeth of LizzieFayeLovesBooks
- Beth (Elizabeth Tyree)
I am so not a YouTuber, BUT I have promised Akoss that I might give it a go, so you MAY see some of that, too. ;)
