[heyteenbookshey]

I decided to restart this blog because I had gotten back into reading YA

But I tripped backwards and have read 6 middle grade novels in the past few weeks? Oh my god I'm loving it???? They are are so good?????? They are creative and use words efficiently and are so right for my attention span???????

If you're curious (because apparently I don't review books anymore) here's what I've read:

Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson (4/5 eeeee I didn't know middle grade could still go this intense!!!)

So B. It by Sarah Weeks (A classic for a reason, I love when books have ONE fantastical element like Heidi's luckiness 4/5)

Soof by Sarah Weeks (A So B. It sequel, kind of! This lacked the charm and heart of it's original, not impressed 2.5/5)

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech (I love Sharon Creech and hadn't read this yet! It was okay, I don't see why it's so widely read in schools but I am neither a middle school teacher or a middle schooler 3.5/5)

Bloomability by Sharon Creech (This was my favorite book in fifth grade! I was a drama drenched kid and searched "kidnapped" in the school library catalog and this came up, but the "kidnapping" was Dinnie's aunt and uncle taking her to an American boarding school in Switzerland and she has such fun adventures and grows so much 4.5/5)

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead (500/5 WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW do you ever read something and get mad because you'll never write anything this good??)

Do you want to see full reviews of any of these? Reply if you do! I know it's not heymiddlegradehey but that's what's happening right now!

important question: do u think "Bloomability" counts for the PopSugar prompt "a book with a 1-word title you had to look up in the dictionary" even though it turns out that's not a real word?

Books of 2021, September

(Posting this now because there’s no way I’ll finish another book before the day is out.)

Reading slowed down toward the end of the month (managed to land in a bunch of thick reads at once, and none of them audio) and I still didn’t get to many of the books on my TBR. I’m also not counting a reread of The Ballad of the White Horse since it’s all of two hours on audio.

#65 - Mark of the Raven by Morgan L. Busse (original ‘21 TBR)   - 5/5 stars

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Finally I found another Christian fantasy novel/series that isn’t heavy-handed about morality or allegory. The writing style was clean, if sometimes repetitive (trust me, after saying it four times in two chapters, I know the guests from that one noble house have blond hair), and there were moments of heavy exposition in the form of dialogue between characters who wouldn’t have needed to share such basic information they all knew; but neither of those complaints greatly detracted from the narrative. It kept a good, steady pace, the stakes were clear, and I cared about the characters. It was very easy to enjoy. And that ending!

Also also! A princess-adjacent character who never complained about dresses, the advantages of her birth, an arranged marriage, or her duties to her family!

I definitely plan to read the sequel.

#66 - Rainbow Valley by L.M. Montgomery - 3/5 stars

I miss Anne. Her children and the Meredith kids are adorable, but I miss Anne.

#67 - Flight of the Raven by Morgan L. Busse - 3/5 stars

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE. YES.

So much angst. Excellent characters. All the angst. Strangers to friends to lovers. ANGST.

Aaaaand then it went a little weird. Like, awkward Christian romance kind of weird where I misheard a bit of dialogue and ended up in the fetal position, cackling until my stomach hurt, while a friend demanded to know how that got past the editors.

Toward the end I kind of gave up. The author did a certain character dirty and I can’t countenance that. I’m not sure why she chose to make this character a POV when she ended up killing her before her internal conflicts could be realized and addressed. It felt incredibly contrived and forced and did absolutely nothing for the plot or the main character; while keeping said character alive would have added some depth and conflict that could have aided the story.

Right up until like the last quarter of the book I was content with the pacing and the stakes, even if the plot was kind of basic. But with that ending, I’m not sure I want to finish the trilogy because I’ve kind of lost interest.

#68 - Rilla of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery - 4/5 stars

This one hurt. Like, I knew what was coming. I accidentally read a “spoiler” and then Lucy alluded to it back in...Anne of Ingleside? So I knew what was coming and it still hurt.

I wasn’t ready for heartache yet here I am. Yes, I cried. Yes, it was probably a bad idea to read this right around 9/11. But it was still good.

As I don’t currently have any interest in The Blythes are Quoted, this closes out my read-through of the Anne of Green Gables series. Overall I loved it. Overall, even in the grief, it was a comfort.

#69 - Bloomability by Sharon Creech - 5/5 stars

Borrowed the audiobook of this middle grade on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a favorite book of one of my writing friends, so ended up on my TBR on her recommendation. A quick, fun, cozy sort of read. Weirdly enough it reminded me a bit of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls; possibly the similarities between that story and Dinnie’s “first life”.

#70 - The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland - 3/5 stars

Read this at the insistence of my Sunday school class. So many kids have told me about this series.

I can definitely see why they enjoy it so much, and it would certainly have been a series I’d have devoured at their age. However, I wouldn’t say it carries over well for older audiences. (Not that this is a bad thing, only the reason I probably won’t read more unless it’s with my nephews in a few years.) And like...it’s so over-the-top? Everywhere you turn there are beheadings and murders and blood and angst. Not really my speed.

#71  - Orphan’s Song by Gillian Bronte Adams - 4/5 stars

I’ve had this book on my radar for a while but hadn’t planned to get to it until next year...but I needed something to listen to and the audiobook was on Hoopla. (Most of my reads this year have been audio...)

Definitely enjoyed this one. The characters were the highlight here; the writing style was easy to fall into but nothing remarkable, and the plot was pretty basic. (Nothing bad with “bad guys trying to take over the world and one girl with unknown power can stop them”, but it’s not complicated.) Excellent pacing, rich dialogue, organic world-building. My one true complaint is that the MC was supposed to be 12 but she acted and spoke more like 15 most of the time. My other, personal-taste complaint, is that the magic system seems a little deus ex machina. While I will definitely recommend this book (especially to my students), I don't think I'll continue the series.

#72 - The Electrical Menagerie by Mollie E. Reeder (original ‘21 TBR) - 5/5 stars

It took a while for the characters to develop. Before that, it was the delightful world that drew me in: the steampunk Wild West, the islands, the tech, the culture. Reeder crafts a delightful story and you can sense her experience and personal interests coming through in the details. The plot was well-paced and engaging, and I loved the dialogue. By the time the characters came into their own I was hooked. Thoroughly enjoyed this little adventure.

Bonus? The fantasy world Christianity was an easy fact of life and not heavy-handed at all.

#73  - The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien (original ‘21 TBR) - 5/5 stars

I’ve long held that the first time I tried to read this book (back in high school??) I never finished it. But I remembered certain events which, it turns out, take place toward the very end of the book, so now I think I did actually finish it that first time and then just...forgot.

Anyway. I had a goal to read this in a month. Given the number of chapters, I had planned to read one a day, and have a few extra days in case things got crazy.

It...didn’t quite work out that way. Thankfully most of the chapters are short but I had a spate of time where I was too busy to read or didn’t have the brainpower for it. When I actually sat down to read a chapter I could get through it relatively quickly, and then in the last few days of September I just crammed. (And shouted at Tarva, the major Tolkien nerd among the friend group, much to her delight.)

This book is heavier than LotR, yes, but there is still that constant thread of hope tracing through it, however dark things may be. And that’s what I love most about Tolkien: that he saw and endured so much darkness, and out of it he painted light.

DNF:

The House of DunRaven by Steven Thomas Lympus (original ‘21 TBR)

The writing style was pretty off-putting and I couldn’t get into the story. (He started it off with a good scene, asked an important question, and then went back to explain stuff. Which works if it had been a chapter of explanation at most. No, I was into Chapter Four and he was still explaining.) Absolutely didn’t care about the characters. Not at all invested.

A Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson

Almost not worth mentioning since I only got one chapter in. What on earth was the author doing giving weirdly detailed descriptions of every single character? (I later discovered this is something like a companion novel to an established series? All the same, clearly not my cup of tea.)

Deerskin by Robin McKinley

I had high hopes for this, but it turns out not even McKinley can redeem this fairy tale. In fact, I think she might have made it worse. There isn't even a donkey that poops gold.

Even if I’d finished it, somehow, I still would have detracted points for the narrator. Her voice was dry and muffled and dull, with almost no inflection even where there should have been something for McKinley’s dry sarcasm.

100% would not recommend this book based on the content. Reviews suggest McKinley handles it all pretty well, but all the same....

Me, My Shelf, & I | Valerie

Introduce Yourself | Hi there, I’m Valerie! I’m the digital marketing assistant at Little, Brown Young Readers. I work mostly on creating digital content for our social platforms, updating the NOVL and LBYR websites, as well as maintaining a few of the social media accounts (mainly the LBYR Instagram, but I do work on the NOVL Instagram and Twitter as well!)

Favorite Book of All Time | The Pendragon Series by D.J. McHale. More specifically, my favorite book in the series is the 9th one - Pendragon: Raven Rise (not pictured, because I borrowed it from my school library). I love my Harry Potter (woo, Ravenclaw!), but I think Pendragon is definitely a very underrated series that more people should read.

Favorite LBYR Book | To be honest, I’m relatively new to LBYR, so I haven’t read too many of our titles yet (even though I did read some before I worked here!) So if I had to choose, I would say The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones. It gave me a type of excitement for a book that I haven’t felt in years. The characters were well-developed, and I liked that the story didn’t completely revolve around romance.

Book You’ve Been Meaning to Read for a While | Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. When I worked at Barnes & Noble my freshman year in college, my co-worker talked about this book nonstop, and how it changed his perception on the way people treat each other. I’ve been meaning to read it for so long, but I just haven’t gotten around to it.

Book(s) You Think Everyone Should Read | The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X, as told to Alex Haley. This book is remarkable, and it changed my perspective on the world. After the first read, I went through and marked down my favorite passages that I still refer to sometimes. I’m also super indecisive when it comes to choosing books (because there are so, so, so many good ones!), so I also want to mention Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang. I read the short story that the film Arrival is based on for class, and I was immediately hooked. Chiang is a phenomenal writer, and he weaves the stories in a way that made me pause and contemplate my own ideas about religion, humanity, and science. If you’re a Black Mirror fan, then you’ll love the collection.

Most Worn-Out (but Well-Loved) Book | Bloomability by Sharon Creech. This book arguably made me into a book lover. Its competitor is Walk Two Moons by the same author, but I remember that I read Bloomability over 20 times throughout my elementary and middle school years. I carried it everywhere with me. The spine is broken down, the pages are yellow, there’s a green stain on the side from an unknown source, and it has that old, dusty book smell. I haven’t read it in a while, but talking about it makes me want to read it all over again.

A Signed Book on Your Shelf | Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes. I actually never met any authors until I started working at LBYR. She came in one day to give a very moving talk about the book, and I got my copy signed afterwards. She’s a wonderful and talented writer, speaker, and person.

Currently Reading | Elon Musk: Inventing the Future by Ashlee Vance. As much as I love my YA lit, I very much enjoy my biographies. It’s insane how much Elon Musk can fit into a week, especially since sometimes I’ll take a break before I even start doing anything. I’m also reading Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray right now, in anticipation for Before the Devil Breaks You.

Thanks for joining us for another Me, My Shelf, and I! If you missed Elizabeth’s, you can check it out here. Stay bookish!

[lantern-hill]

i know i am Always recommending you books but:

- Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower (get past the sketch romance for the amazing ideas in it)

- T.H. White's the Once and Future King (genuinely i believe the finest tragedy of the 20th century. skip the book of merlyn it's really not worth it)

- Noor Naga's If An Egyptian Cannot Speak English (I just need other people to read this book it blew my brain wide open)

-Sharon Creech's Bloomability (a 21st century book with the same comfort you get from LMM - a little juvenile but wonderfully soft and hopeful)

already read parable of the sower we have discussed this book before kin come on now.

i put the rest on the list, if sharon creech does not live up to lmm i will hunt you for sport for making the comparison <3

Guthrie asked Signora Palermo to turn down a narrow lane and then stop at a rocky hill over-looking a clear river. He made us all climb out of the van and breathe the air. 'I am a transparent eyeball!' he shouted. It sounded very funny at the time. 'It's from Emerson,' Guthrie said. 'He was into nature in a big way, and he'd go out into the woods and he felt transparent, like he was nothing and yet he could see everything and was a part of everything: one big huge transparent eyeball! Wow!'

Sharon Creech, Bloomability.

[cultivating-wildflowers]

what books would you recommend for an 8 years old girl? I have a little friend who is recovering from an accident

Ohhhh I'm so sorry!! I hope she's doing ok!

I LOVE rec'ing books to kids, but keep in mind I largely read fantasy and that tends to translate to my recs as well lol. (If this reader is into horse books, that's a whole other thing and I'll have to dig out my lists....)

General recommendations I've seen for kid lit is to find stories with protagonists a couple of years older than the reader, since kids (understandably) like to "read up".

My first rec is an eternal one, but with a couple of caveats:

The Underland Chronicles (five books) by Suzanne Collins. Technically the main character Gregor is 11 in the first book (and 13 by the end) but myself and my bestie agree he should have been aged up because he doesn't quite read like an 11-year-old; even a mature one.

The series also does get kind of dark and deals with war, trauma, and grief (it deals very well with all of them but there is loss in abundance). I think the payoff at the end is well-deserved, but it is hard-earned, and some kids aren't down for that.

If the reader in question is ok with a slightly thicker and slower book, I am legally obligated to rec The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I first read this book when I was eight or nine and it got me through the first major upheaval in my young life. I adore crabby, prickly, awkward, earnest Mistress Mary Lennox.

(There's a lot of classic fiction I could rec but it really depends on the reader, since reading styles have changed so much.)

(tucking the rest under a read-more for brevity's sake)

Some authors I love and trust are Patricia C. Wrede, Gail Carson Levine, Shannon Hale, Kate diCamillo, Diana Wynne Jones, Lloyd Alexander, and Jessica Day George. You have to pick and choose because they all write for a range of audiences, but their writing is solid across the board. Roald Dahl is solidly in the right age range, but I know people are hit-or-miss with him.

The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place by Maryrose Wood follows a slightly older protagonist in newly-minted governess Penelope Lumley, but it is definitely a MG story in theme, style, and in the other important members of the cast: the trio of feral children Penelope has been hired to civilize (and domesticate). Top of my list for "series to read to the niblings when they're old enough for sleepovers".

I recently read Quintessence by Jess Redman and was very impressed both with the story and the author. It's a contemporary story with a twist of magic to it. I'm keen to check out more of Redman's books in the future. I would say the same about Kelly Barnhill. I've only read The Girl Who Drank the Moon but I've heard good things about the rest of Barnhill's list.

A good while ago I started the Guardians of Childhood series by William Joyce ("The Rise of the Guardians" movie is very loosely based off of this series) and loved it. Unfortunately I never finished it.... Ain't that the way.

If your reader is ok with lots of drama and some frankly intense killing on occasion (detailed neck-snapping iirc), I had a few students who love the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland. I...couldn't do it myself, but they swear it's a good series. (For some reason every time I see this series I think of the Warrior Cats.... Those were the days.)

One of my writing friends, Remi, is a lifelong fan of Bloomability by Sharon Creech. I found the audio version on Hoopla and absolutely adored it, and I understand Creech has plenty of other fantastic books in the same range and style. Remi also loves The Mysterious Benedict Society (I couldn't get into it but I see the appeal).

For more overtly Christian fiction, Narnia is obvious, but The Green Ember (S.D. Smith) and The Wingfeather Saga (Andrew Peterson) are a couple of more recent and very solid series. (I believe both are also available as audio on Hoopla.)

If we're looking for some graphic novels, I tried out the first book in the Amulet series by Kazu Kibuishi and it was pretty solid. I haven't had a chance to try the rest of the series, but liked what I did see. There's also The Nameless City by Faith Erin Hicks. (Unfortunately I haven't explored a lot of middle grade graphic novels so I don't have a lot that I'm comfortable recommending.)

I want to say both The Spiderwick Chronicles and A Series of Unfortunate Events are in the right age range, or possibly just above it, but I can't remember and it's been way too long since I read (and enjoyed!) either of these series. Kind of on the same lines would be the Artemis Fowl series, which I personally hated if I'm honest, but others tell me it's solid.

I know I'm missing some obvious recommendations, but this is what I found after browsing a few shelves on StoryGraph. There are also several books/series friends here on tumblr have recommended that I have been meaning to get to. Hopefully soon.... Some of those are:

Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo (technically "The Children of the Red King" according to StoryGraph)

The Skyborn series by Jessica Khoury

Small Spaces by Katherine Arden (I've only read her YA/Adult fantasy and I love it but it's...definitely adult so I'm curious what her MG fiction is like)

The Mistmantle Chronicles by M.I. McAllister

Classic authors George MacDonald, E. Nesbit, and Maud Hart Lovelace

I hope this helps, and affords some decent distractions while your reader recovers. 💜

I knew was that for all our differences in nationality, in language, in culture, and in personality, we were all more alike than not.

hey! Follow me on instagram, I’m trying to grow there too :D

I’m posting books and things like that at the moment 😊

[readingbooksinisrael]

Library book haul

The Lost Years of Merlin/T.A. Barron-I actually took this out before glumshoe made that post about it. So now I know what to expect. Mmm-yes.

A Spy on the Home Front: A Molly Mystery/Alison Hart for American Girl-My library got new American Girl books! Since Molly is my nostalgic favorite her mystery is the first one I took.

The Penderwicks at Point Moutte/Jean Birdsall-I love the first two Penderwick books but I didn’t know until last month that there were more. The last one in the series was just put out in May so now I have to catch up. :D

Bloomability/Sharon Creech-School stories + hurting kid who shows it in ‘trouble kid’ ways who learns that there are people who care about them and will help them is my drug.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man/Jason Reynolds-I finally got this! It was finally in! Spiderman is the best hero because no matter who’s in the costume they’re always perfect for it.

The Thirteenth Tale/Diane Setterfield-For The Catch-up Book Club. I’m a bit suspicious about the story line (not sure if I’ll like it) but I think, from looking inside, that the writing is perfect for that kind of story.

הלוויתן מבבל/הגר ינאי-לא מצאתי את זה שנים בגלל שחשבתי ששם המחברת זה ינאי הגר במקום להפך. אבל הבטחתי לעצמי שלא אקרא את זה עד שאקרא את ‘לאה און זי אופביט’. יש לי קצת חששות בגלל שזה ילדים שנכנסים לעולם שונה שזה לא תמיד הכי אהוב עלי ��בל יש כל כך קצת פנטזיה ישראלית שהייתי גם קורא/ת את זה אם זה היה רומנטיקה וערפדים.
