Time to get ready for the weekend!
Kick up your feet and find a good place to read.
Sharing #booklove for your classroom or library.
Spotlighting a book or two because these books deserve the spotlight!
As much as I hate winter, the start of the year always means new books. Lots of fun ones to look forward to in February!

Yup, will be another great reading month! I don't know about you, but my library holds are already at a maximum!
Of course there are more books than this that will be published this month. If there is a book you're looking forward to, add it in the comments so other readers know to look out for it!
All of the publishing houses and dates came from Goodreads. Check the official publishers page for any changes.
Hi Michelle, thanks for providing this list - I'm especially looking forward to 'Be Kind' and 'Vincent'. By the way, another book out this month (2/13) is Lee Bennett Hopkins' new poetry anthology "School People (Boyds Mills Press), featuring poems about all the grown-ups that kids meet at school, like the teacher, nurse, janitor, etc. 15 poets are included, like Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Charles Ghigna, and J. Patrick Lewis (and Yours Truly!).
