This past weekend marked my six year blogging anniversary at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE! Don’t worry. You didn’t miss it. The party is today! First off I have a review of 24 HOURS IN NOWHERE by Dusti Bowling. Click on the the image and give it a read, then comment for your chance to win one of three special giveaways. You can get a second entry by commenting on my announcement post from last Friday. Whether you have followed me for years or are new today please enter, it’s my thank you for a great six years. Much more to come! (Be sure to visit all these other great MMGM bloggers by clicking on the cupcake I made for each of them.)

If you would like to join in the MMGM fun and get your own spot on the walkway, all you have to do is blog about a middle grade book you love on a Monday (contests, author interviews and whatnot also count–but are most definitely not required) and email me the title of the book you’re featuring and a link to your blog at gpcolo (at) gmail (dot) com
(Make sure you put MMGM or Marvelous Middle Grade Monday in the subject line so it gets sorted accurately–and please don’t forget to say what book you’re featuring)
You MUST email me your link by Sunday evening (11 PM Eastern Time) in order to be included in the list of links for the coming Monday.
Thanks for spreading the middle grade love and for being a part of this awesome tradition begun by Shannon Messenger and carried on here at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE! (CLICK HERE FOR PAST MMGM POSTS)
*Please note: these posts are not a reflection of my own opinions on the books featured. Each blogger is responsible for their own MMGM content and I do not pre-screen reviews ahead of time, nor do I control what books they choose. I simply assemble the list based on the links that are emailed to me.
