![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not much shorter, mind you, but definitely shorter than this post.) (And also, I am aware that this review is almost comically long, and so I will mention if you missed my Thursday Thoughts post that, starting not next week but the week after, I will be beta-testing a shorter review format. This is a young adult (YA) book, not a middle grade (MG) book, and it contains mature content. ![]() And yet, this book still might be one of the very best! Today's book is the YA graphic novel Himawari House by Harmony Becker. Moving into my review, I have been so spoiled lately, because I have just picked up one fantastic book after another. And now that Round 1 is over and the finalists have been announced, Round 2 begins, which means I start my term as a Round 2 Judge for Elementary/Middle-Grade Nonfiction! (If you're curious, you can see which books I'll be reading here.) I encourage you to go check out the finalists-some of them were nominated by bloggers I know, so make sure to see if your nominee was selected! Happy New Year's, everyone! I hope every one of you enjoyed your holidays, and I wish all of you a happy, healthy new year-I'm mildly petrified to see what 2022 has in store (considering our hope for 2021 lasted exactly 6 days), but I know we'll all be able to handle whatever's in store!īy the way, January 1 is an important day in the kidlit world-it's the day the finalists in the Cybils Awards are announced! You can view all of the finalists here-it's truly overwhelming how many great books were selected. ![]()
