No posts this week!

Since I went back to school on Monday, I had very little time to read or think, so I will not post anything this week. I should be back to normal by the upcoming weekend (but no promises)! I hope everyone has a great week!

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Act by Kayla Miller

What a week. I'm not going to get into everything except to say that I am of course utterly appalled and disgusted by the anti-trans legislation in Arkansas. I heard from others that there is a small nonprofit organization in Arkansas called Intransitive that supports transgender people and is advocating against these laws; consider making a donation! Unfortunately, I don't have the mental fortitude for a full super-depressed write-up on that mess—at the rate we're going in the world, I would never actually have any time to review books—but I did want to mention the situation quickly. Also, since I've had the most unpleasant morning, I'm going to warn you all: if you have a Mac, and you are super-behind on software updates, and you are planning to install macOS Big Sur (the newest version), please, please, PLEASE  check and make sure that you actually have enough storage to install it. Because my sibling's Mac laptop gave us the go-ahead to install Big Sur even...

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Allergic, written by Megan Wagner Lloyd and illustrated by Michelle Mee Nutter

Well, it's happening—on Monday, I start in-person college classes for the first time in my life. Accordingly, I will be wildly busy and frantic for a while, but considering I posted a book review every single week of my first year of college last year (which was all-virtual), I don't think my blog will suffer too much. But you can expect that Thursday Thoughts posts will be on hiatus, and I probably won't have time to stop by people's blogs during the week (although I will still be diligent about commenting on your MMGM and #IMWAYR posts). Blogging is a nice respite from the chaos of college, so I will look forward to sharing oodles of book reviews as always in the months to come! In other news, I bought a bunch of new graphic novels using gift-card money! A few are already out, most of them come out in September and October, and one comes out in February and one in April. It'll be nice to have some cool books just magically showing up on my doorstep! Aggravatingly,...

MMGM and #IMWAYR (11/2/2020): First Light by Rebecca Stead (plus giveaway winners!)

Before we get started, the winners of my giveaway of The Magic Fish  by Trung Le Nguyen have been selected! They are...   Terry,     Cheriee,     and     Natalie! Congratulations to the winners, and thanks so much to everyone who entered! I truly wish I could have given a copy of The Magic Fish  to everyone, but since I cannot do so, I can only implore you to go out and buy a copy of this marvelous book! Now that that's done, for MMGM and #IMWAYR, I am recommending First Light  by Rebecca Stead. The current cover.           First Light  is the debut novel of beloved and crazy-talented MG author Rebecca Stead, who also wrote When You Reach Me , Liar & Spy , Goodbye Stranger , Bob  (with Wendy Mass), and The List of Things That Will Not Change . Stead is, no question, my favorite author in existence, yet I had never read her very first novel—until now. I decided to read First Light  after reread...
