PW Launches List Season!
Probably the exclamation point was unnecessary, since (A) PW always kicks off the pack and (B) it’s November when the season always launches. BUT! It’s still exciting. And full of surprises! And books I haven’t read, which is always a concern. Why are there so many books? Why must we all have to pick and […]
Thumper’s Dad (A Roundup)
Once upon a time ago, over on Heavy Medal, Jonathan very boldly (and wittily) ran a post with just a title and the cover of the book. His point was that sometimes you just don’t have anything good to say about a book, so why say anything at all? I’m not nearly as bold, nor […]
Printzbery Part 2, This Time on Wheels
Yesterday we gave you a twofold twofer: two titles with potential for both Printz and Newbery. Today we’re back with another, Roller Girl, in what looks like it might be a weeklong series. Let’s get to it! Roller Girl, Victoria Jamieson Dial Books, March 2015 Reviewed from ARC This one is technically a potential Printzecott […]
Printzbery Part 1
Printzbery: could be one, could be the other, might even end up both.* By popular demand: today we’re talking about all those maybe kidlit, maybe YA books from the first three quarters of the year. On the table for the potential Printzbery*: Roller Girl; Echo; Goodbye, Stranger; The Hired Girl, Cuckoo Song, and Orbiting Jupiter. […]
Two Books That Have Absolutely Nothing in Common*
As previously mentioned, time is short and books are many. So for today, two books that don’t actually belong in a joint post, brought to you by the color red and the letter D: The Dead I Know and Dime. The Dead I Know, Scot Gardner Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, March 2015 Reviewed from final copy […]
National Book Award, Part Deux: The SHORT List!
I didn’t want to hijack Sarah’s review of The Game of Love and Death, so this is a few days after the fact, meaning you’ve probably all seen the short list already. Surprises? Delights? Me, I’m surprised by the lack of X, and a little about Symphony for the City of the Dead, but two […]
The Clock is Ticking!
Once upon a time, we went to a pond and started kissing frogs. This year, the pond is large, the frogs are many, and (ALA Mid) winter is closing in. There’s no way we’re kissing them all, so we have some hard decisions to make. In an ideal world, every frog published between January and […]
Archivist Wasp Has A Sting You’ll Want to Savor
Archivist Wasp, Nicole Kornher-Stace Big Mouth House, May 2015 Reviewed from final e-book I love this book. Can I just get that out there right up front? Which is not to say I love its chances, but I’m still going to wax eloquent (or wax, anyway) in praise of its strengths. This is a weird […]
Boys Will Be… Knitters and Lovers and Funny, Oh My
Simon VS the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Becky Albertalli Balzer + Bray, April 2015 Reviewed from ARC Boys Don’t Knit, T.S. Easton Feiwel and Friends, March 2015 Reviewed from final copy It’s a twofer Monday, today, with two delightfully warm, funny, and frankly tender tales of boys grappling with what it means to be a boy, […]
