You can links to all the lists here. There’s a lot of good books on those lists. My panel’s list is here. As I said before, I’m very proud of the list and very glad to have been a part of shaping it.

The winners will be announced on February 14.

Of course, not all our favorites made the lists (mine’s here), so we’ve done a bit of a best-of Middle Grade Panel tour. Go check out the other panelists best-of lists (updated as they put them up, of course)
Sherry: Semicolin
Sarah: The Reading Zone
Matt: The Book Club Shelf
Alysa: Everead
Kim: Si, se puede! Yes, we can
Mary: ACPL Mock Newbery (it’s actually the short list for the ACPL Mock Newbery, but I think it counts).

Happy New Year!

To travel the world, experience new places, meet new people, enjoy yummy food. You can link to all your reviews, recipes, thoughts, ruminations at the review blog here. If you are without a blog, and would like a space to put your thoughts, drop me an email, and I’ll make you a team member of the review blog.

I’m really looking forward to this challenge. Thanks so much to all those who have decided to join me on this trip. And if you haven’t signed up yet, it’s not too late to join in the fun!

Happy New Year!
