The merry month of May…
\nreading, writing, reading,
\nslow progress on TBR2012<\/a> shelf,
\nWordCount Blogathon2013<\/a> dead ahead!<\/p>\n

Oh, I recommended plenty of books in May, but only 2 from my to-be-reviewed shelf had publication dates of 2012 or earlier:<\/p>\n

Renegade Magic<\/em><\/a>, by Stephanie Burgis
\nArm of the Starfish<\/em><\/a>, by Madeleine L’Engle<\/p>\n

So totaled with my January<\/a>, February<\/a>, March<\/a>, and April<\/a> TBR2012 Challenge title lists, that makes 46 pre-2013 books that I’ve offered for your consideration this year (just click on the link to get to that month’s wrap-up post with titles and links to my recommendations; each opens in new tab\/window).<\/p>\n

Now, I’m poised to take on the blog-every-day-of-June-challenge of WordCount Blogathon2013! (remember, if you sign up<\/a> by 11 pm EDT\/8 pm PDT today and blog each day in June, you’re eligible for nifty prizes)<\/p>\n

I plan to take full advantage of the traditional Blogathon days for haiku<\/a>, word clouds<\/a>, “my top five<\/a>” and at least one guest blogger<\/a>, as well as sending a guest post to another Blogathonner’s blog<\/a> or two. Even with those special days counted in, that still means over two dozen new books will be recommended for you in June as I #blog2013!<\/p>\n

During the summer, I will be joining many librarians and teachers in trying to read a #bookaday (thank goodness I also review picture books for www.abookandahug.com<\/a>!), Tweeting my progress @BooksYALove. Since I read fast and write with due deliberation, there may be quite a gap between my #bookaday tweet and its appearance here on BooksYALove. If you spot a title that you can’t wait to hear more about, give me a holler here, and I’ll try to move its recommendation post up the calendar.<\/p>\n

Of course, not every book I read makes the cut for BooksYALove – only the best are good enough for YA readers to spend their time and money on, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

So, what will you be reading and writing this summer??
