Thank you for sharing your list! You have several on your chapter book list that I am looking forward to reading as well - Flight of the Puffin is top on my list! Thank you also for including the release date - that is very helpful! Good luck with your goal and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMany of these are on my radar. I definitely want to read the kids version of Stamped. The teen version was so insightful. Flight of the Puffin is another one I really can't wait for.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this list. It reminded me that I want to read The One and Only Bob. I forgot about that one. I will definitely also look for this new one by Katherine Applegate also. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI took so long with your list, adding to mine & putting the January ones on hold! Thanks a lot for sharing them and the published dates! I can't wait for that new Endling book & The Ramble Shamble Children! I've read an early copy of Outside Inside & it is special!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to get a peek at some of the upcoming titles! Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting book birthdays! How exciting! I put Bear Island on my list, too. I'm a huge Matthew Cordell fan! And Linda Sue Park is coming out with a new book. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in. I'm fascinated by how people decide their reading goals. I'll be looking forward to reading your reviews on these books. I haven't added Thrive to my list, but am in the middle of Hatch and expect I will be adding it soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading in 2021!
