MMGM for February 3, 2020

Love is on the horizon and there’s a lot of love for MG books. Check out my review of PIPPA PARK RAISES HER GAME by Erin Yun right here at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE (just click the heart!).

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, and Stitch-Metic celebrates her 2nd Blog Birthday! She has author guest posts from her most popular MMGM posts along with book prizes.

A touch of sadness hangs over our MMGM celebration today as long time contributor Suzanne Warr steps away from her blog, Tales From The Raven. She leaves us with one more spotlight on The Library of Ever, by Zeno Alexander.

Andrea Mack at That’s Another Story is back with us this week with our second review today of Pippa Park Raises Her Game by Erin Yun.

Maria Antonia at Of Books, Photography, and Tea has some mini-reviews for the January reading bingo.

Patricia Tilton at CHILDREN’S BOOKS HEAL kicks off Black History month with a review of For Black Girls Like Me, a tender middle grade novel about interracial adoptions by Mariama J. Lockington.

A Garden of Books features Britfield and the Lost Crown by C.R. Stewart.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews COUNTING TO PERFECT by Suzanne LeFleur. Rosi also has some not to be missed links for her writing friends.

Stephanie Robinson on Fairday’s Blog is featuring The Mark of the Dragonfly by Jaleigh Johnson.

Susan Uhlig was amazed at the story of ALLIES by Alan Gratz which explores many pieces of D-Day. Written for ages 8 and up, older readers will also appreciate the book.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads has another fantastic MMGM post. Be sure to check out today’s feature and all of her reviews the past week including 96 MILES.

If you would like to join in the MMGM fun and get your own spot in the parade, 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.
