Thank you SO much @AnnaliseAvery and @KathieMacIsaac for your hard work on this year's #MGBooktober. I have loved seeing new books and authors - and adding my own!
#MGBooktober Day 25 I would have loved to have had@misty_wilson_ PLAY LIKE A GIRL as I could relate to Misty in MANY ways. I also would have loved & still know we need more books like @sarazarrbooks tackling alcoholism in a very realistic manner where I could have seen myself.
I seem to have mixed up my the days of #mgbooktober A book that made me laugh out loud is The Dark Prophecy from @rickriordan's Trials of Apollo series. The whole series is humorous - from the chapter titles to the warped haiku to the character's comments.
#MGBooktober There are so many books on my TBR that I would like to read before the end of the year but these 3 are at the top of my list: Windswept by Margi Preus, Answers in the Pages by David Levithan, and The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton
I'm a big fan of Carl Pearce's expressive-yet-lifelike character design and otherworldly color palettes—so I'm very bigly excited to reveal his cover art for my debut novel WE THE FUTURE In just a few days! #MGBooktober
#MGBooktober Day 14 I need more than one tweet! @sarahscheerger @Meg_Medina @Leeseray
Day 13 #MGBooktober Can't pick just one. Two of my faves: Game of Stars has skateboarding rebels in the sky. @Sayantani16
The Girl Who Drank the Moon is so lovely @kellybarnhill
@amightygirl characters AND authors!
It's so hard to choose a favorite middle book cover! But here are three from this past year that stood out to me:
SOFÍA ACOSTA MAKES A SCENE - Mirella Ortega
HANA HSU AND THE GHOST CRAB NATION - @Lunaurum
UNSETTLED - @souqudesign
#MGBooktober

#MGBooktober Day 5: there are too many amazing MG #22debuts (check them out at https://t.co/CoSXGw8961), so I'll shout out the most recent ones I read ... all wonderful and heartfelt! @Mohrweis_Writes @erikslangerup @kelcrocker @RefeUp
#MGBooktober Day 3! I wouldn’t mind exploring Scotland and an old castle, like in @JMCwrites’s Across the Pond.
#MGBooktober Day 29 ~ I don't have the time to binge series anymore, as I'm always on the lookout for new books for my students. But when I was a kid, I binged them all the time, especially Narnia.
#MGBooktober Day 22 ~ It has such great visuals, I'd love to see Witch Hat Aterlier get a film! I think animation is the way to go for this one, since art is the source of magic. Don't ask me about casting, though!
I LOVE ART!! Here are just a few of my favorite #MGFantasy covers, including my own (with incredible art by @kelleymcmorris and @BDormanArt). These are all wonderful stories for those stormy autumn nights! #MGBooktober @hilary_mckay @julianalbrandt @jessicavitalis @lindsayncurrie
#Mgbooktober Day 20 ~ I always loved the cover for @kellyyanghk's Front Desk, illustrated by @maike_illu—which is why my heart nearly stopped when I found out she was doing the cover for Spell Sweeper.
Check out the design process for Front Desk: https://t.co/lPxuGx1yiD
#MGBooktober 14 The very next book up on my TBR is @breebird33 's GARLIC AND THE VAMPIRE, and I can't wait. I'm trying not to flip through it too much and spoiler myself but it is just so cool.
Day 12 Don't you love when an author includes a glossary? I learned a lot about sailing in this MG fav by @RosanneParry.
Set in Oregon, the changing tides reminded me of hometown CHS. #MGBooktober
#MGBooktober Day 9: I loved STARFISH, by Lisa Fipps, and while it didn’t debuted several years ago, FRONT DESK is also a favorite! https://t.co/dFNzjXdwfz
#MGBooktober Day 8: The magical item I want is from The Twelve by @cindylin_tweets — the Coppice Comb! It causes trees to sprout around you, protecting you from danger. (But I want to point out that there are many amazing treasures in this book series.)
