Middle Grade March Announcement and TBR 2021

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year....#middlegrademarch​ is here. This month long readathon celebrates the amazing category of books that many times we forget about as adults. I hope you will choose to participate in all the fun with us this 4th year of MGM.  

HOSTS:
Katie @Life Between Words​
Amanda @The Curly Reader​
Krista @BooksAndJams​
Don't forget to use the hashtag #middlegrademarch

CHALLENGES (optional, of course):

Group Read:
The Brave by James Bird

Prompts:

    1. A Book with SILHOUETTE on the cover
    2. A Book with a strong FAMILY (or found family)
    3. A Book featuring a JOURNEY or ADVENTURE
    4. A RETELLING (or book with a fairytale vibe)
    5. A Book written (or set) in the DECADE YOU WERE BORN

      I will not read the group read, unfortunately, as I could not get the book. The libraries are still closed. And I decided not to restrict myself with the prompts, though I hope to fulfill them anyway. I combined the ultimate list of middle grade books I have so far and will pick from it. Thus, I could keep track of the progress during the year as I would like to read at least one middle grade book a month.
