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 June would be discussed by Halloween, leaving November and December for all those July through December frogs (tadpoles? This metaphor is collapsing).

There’s no way this is happening! So we’re going to crowdsource. Read on to see what’s left and help us decide which frogs are just going to have to hop away unkissed.

Here are the January to June books languishing unreviewed*. We ask you, friends:

What should we skip? (We’re still reading, so time spent not covering one book is time spent reading something else.)

What is still missing?

What can be discussed in the comments here and doesn’t need a post of its own?
