Hard to believe that we're looking at the start of a new year!
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for 2017!
Especially for the books.
This week I'll be spotlighting books to come.
I have pages written in my notebook for each month.
Pulling out just a few over the next few days.  
Lots more to come in 2017!

  2. I am looking forward to quite a few of these - A Boy Called Bat, Moon Shadow, Orphan Island. I just read The Warden's Daughter - it's quite different than what I expected. Enjoyed the second Fenway and Hattie. Another book I'm really looking forward to is One Amazing Elephant by Linda Oatman High. Thanks for sharing!

  5. A book that will be a "must read" is the Skeleton Tree (Scholastic) by Kim Ventrella (a librarian and a super writer). The first time she brought it to critique, I knew it had legs. Here's a taste, "There are lots of things that grow in backyards. Bones aren’t one of them." Release date October 2017
