You know it's been a great #MGBookChat when you can't even count the number of Goodreads tabs you have open with book suggestions to look through later!
#MGBookChat What have been your favorite MG reads so far in 2024?
Enjoyed reading Operation: Happy at the beach today! A wonderful story by @jennilwalsh that comes out tomorrow 4/2

The last 10 days have been a whirlwind of time zones, flights, wrapping up the first quarter at school, my high school reunion, and time with family as we grieved the loss of my grandma and celebrated her 87 years of life.
Now it’s time to catch up on sleep and reading!
#MGBookChat Question:
I'm thinking about choosing 12 authors in 2023 and reading through their backlists.
If you had to pick just 2-3 authors for this, who would you choose?
#MGBookChat Question:
Has anyone created an online interactive quiz? Any tips, suggestions, or thoughts?
I'm thinking I'd like to create some quizzes kids can take to give them personalized book recs
