I went digging through my archives for this one, so I could provide you guys with a link to my spotlight on the first book, and was shocked to realize it’s been a full two years since I posted my review of the (then) arc! Â Time flies when you’re reading books, eh? 😉 You’ll find

Last week wrapped up my spotlight on Out of Abaton, and that means this week I get to announce the winner of the giveaway! Â There must be something in my blood that’s half fortune hunter because I get a little giddy when I get to announce a winner, like I’m about to open a treasure

Hello my beloved MMGMers and blog followers! Â This week’s spotlight is on Out of Abaton: the Wooden Prince. Â GIVEAWAY details at the botom, after my rambling update, and Apricot-kitty’s two bits.

Yesterday I took a pic of the blossoms in downtown Raleigh, near the science museum. You can feel how fresh and gorgeous and pink they are, right? Â On a day like this, in spring, it can feel almost wrong to spotlight a book that’s sad and cold as Paula Fox’s Monkey Island. This poor little

In yet another shout-out to the younger MG crowd, I’m spotlighting A Little Shopping, by Cynthia Rylant, which is the second book in her Cobble Street Cousins series.
