I’m wrapping up my second year as your Marvelous Middle Grade Monday host. It would be impossible to carry on this tradition, born out of the wishes of author Shannon Messenger, without the support of those who participated in 2019. I’ve listed your names below.

A little gift is in order. I have acquired a rare set of MMGM sticky notepads. These 3 x 4 inch notes have been the hit in my neighborhood. I’ve put a little message of cheer and stuck them to every door in a three block radius. It warms my heart to hear the neighbor say, “Get off my porch—No, wait, what the heck is an MMGM and where do I get my own pack of the stickies?”

Sorry, you can’t unless you joined our marvelous group of middle grade bloggers in at least one of the 52 Mondays. If you see your name or blog below, all you have to do is email me your address (to: gpcolo [at] gmail [dot] com) and I will send you your very own pad of these one of a kind beauties. You’ll be the envy of friends, family, and a few strangers.

So a big thank you to this great MMGM family of bloggers:
