And that's a wrap for Middle Grade May! I had a fabulous month reading and sharing middle grade books with you all. I've still got some book posts I'm working on (things got nuts toward the end of this month with Summer Reading coming up!), so look for those in the coming weeks.
And check out my Instagram, where I've got video booktalks of some of my favorite new and upcoming middle grade reads (more to come there, too).
This month, I wanted to concentrate on new and upcoming middle grade books. I was hoping to read 10 books and ended up reading 12 books, so I met my goal. Here's what I read this month:
Pie in the Sky by Ramy Lai (Henry Holt, May 2019).
Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga (Balzer + Bray, May 2019).
Because of the Rabbit by Cynthia Lord (Scholastic, March 2019).
The Great Penguin Rescue by Sandra Markle (Milbrook, 2017).
Lalani of the Distant Sea by Erin Entrada Kelly (Greenwillow, September 2019).
Roll With It by Jamie Sumner (Atheneum, October 2019).
Planet Earth is Blue by Nicole Panteleakos (Random House, May 2019).
Camp by Kayla Miller (HMH Books for Young Readers, April 2019).
All the Greys on Greene Street by Laura Tucker, illustrated by Kelly Murphy (Viking, June 2019).
Girl of the Southern Sea by Michelle Kadarusman (Pajama Press, May 2019).
Each Tiny Spark by Pablo Cartaya (Kokila, August 2019).
Dear Sweet Pea by Julie Murphy (Balzer + Bray, October 2019).
What a great month of books! Next up, I'm going to be going back to my Romance Project and picking up a bunch of LGBT books for Pride Month.
What's on your reading agenda for this summer?
