Hello everyone and Happy Sunday! Let’s get down to business, shall we?
Cool Things That Happened Last Week:
In case you missed it, two cool things happened this past week. First, Ana was a guest on the awesome Lady Business+ Podcast, talking about the best books of 2013 so far, the most highly anticipated books in the second half of the year, and other general fan geekery. We highly recommend you check it out!
The other cool thing that happened was on Friday, when Thea her her young adult (14 year old) sister did a joint review/discussion of Michael Grant’s Light, the last book in series they both love. Spoiler alert: Thea’s little sister Tara is kind of AMAZING. You can read the review HERE.

On Wednesday, it’s time for our official Old School Wednesday Readalong! This time, we review Archer’s Goon by Dinana Wynne Jones (we are very excited).
On Thursday, for reals this time, it is Ana’s turn as she has a bonafide Middle Grade Review Bonanza. She reviews Binny For Short by Hilary Mckay, Rump by Liesl Shurtliff, and Aesop’s Secret by Claudia White.
AND on Friday we close out the week with a joint review of YA fantasy novel All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry (aka The Rejectionist). Plus, Thea is over at Kirkus with a review of Paradox by A.J. Paquette.
That’s it from us! Until tomorrow, we remain…

July 28, 2013 at 11:27 pmThat’s an ambitious and fun schedule you have lined up. I haven’t heard of any of the books, so I’ll have to come back and check out what you both have to say about them. 🙂

I’m wondering: Do book lovers necessarily have to be book collectors?
I tried to get rid of my books and failed miserably
