It’s been longer than I care to say since I posted book recommendations here… life happens.<\/p>\n

So much has happened in recent months in the US, and I wonder often what I can do to fight against the darkness.<\/p>\n

BOOKS! I will do what BooksYALove has always done – recommend middle grade and young adult books beyond the bestsellers, especially those reflecting diverse communities and marginalized people<\/p>\n

April’s AtoZ blog challenge http:\/\/www.a-to-zchallenge.com\/<\/a> is a good way for me to get going again. I’ve successfully participated every April since 2011! See all my past posts through the A2Z tag in the sidebar.<\/p>\n

So you’ll get 26 human-written recommendations of great MG and YA books, from A to Z, every April day except Sundays.<\/p>\n

Time to read!
