I’m going away tomorrow for a little over a week and probably won’t update while I’m gone. Perhaps someone else will step in with a review, and perhaps not – SarahJanet’s away too, I know. In any event, we’ll see you somehow within the next week and a half or so.

I promised you more people here, and more people you are getting! Please welcome SarahJanet, who wrote the fabulous review of Nancy Werlin’s IMPOSSIBLE that you can read in the last post. I’ve known SarahJanet online for a very long time now and am thrilled that she is joining us here at Kidliterate. Her bio [...]

I’m adding some official “staff” here at Kidliterate, and couldn’t be more excited! You’ll remember Eliza from her previous reviews of books like CHAINS and THE UNDERNEATH, and from her post a few days ago about graphic novels. She’ll be doing some more of that, and now she has a bio on the site and [...]

I had 14 straight days of visitors and then Wordpress issues. Now the problem is I can’t remember the plots of books I read three weeks ago. I hope to post something tomorrow, as I’ve had to stop reading galleys until I wade through some of these reviews.
(I read an adult book! Horrors! And then [...]

I have been working on the latest batch of reviews for a couple of days. 12 days of being away meant finishing eight books; six of them are review-worthy. And now they’re all jumbled up in my head. So I’m sorting them out, writing a little about each at a time, and should be back [...]

I was hoping to post a few reviews this week, but we were in Milwaukee for five days and now we’re off to NJ/PA for eight. (AND I GET TO GO TO MY OLD BOOKSTORE – WOO!)  I really, really need to tell you how amazing Laurie Halse Anderson’s WINTERGIRLS and Lisa Ann Sandell’s A [...]

My dear friend and fellow kidlit junkie Eliza will be occasionally (or more than occasionally, if she catches the bug) contributing here. She and I bonded long, long, long, long ago back when we both used to journal online under pseudonyms, and have long since become friends in real life. With us it always comes [...]

Parental visit + over-involvement in election + sickness + daughter displaying all typical signs of being two (including not napping, which is writing time) = no recent reviews. I’ll be back soon.

Look what I did (with the help of the Wordpress Theme Generator)!
This is what I’ve been doing for the last several days, along with struggling to review two Scholastic books that I loved but can’t seem to write about. I’m also almost finished a Penguin book I can’t seem to categorize. Hopefully this all comes [...]

I’m off on a little trip to Toronto – see you in a few days!
