đź“šGROUP BOOK: Witchlings by Claribel A. Ortega
Liveshow Date: Sat. Nov 4, 1pm PT /4pm ET on Cara's (@WildeBookGarden) channel
🔆PROMPTS:
Tier 1—Beginner:
1. Read a book that feels "seasonal" to you (can be cozy, spooky, spring-themed if you're in the Southern hemisphere, etc.) If you don’t read seasonally, choose a book with seasonal colors on the cover!
2. Read a book by a Latin American author.
3. Read a book nominated for an award or listed on a reading list other than the Newbery Award. (You can still choose a book that has made the Newbery list! It just has to also appear on another list or award.)
Tier 2—Challenge:
Complete the 3 Beginner prompts PLUS
4. Read a friend and/or book blogger’s recommendation
5. Read a book in a series
6. Read a book that counts towards a goal or project you have (this can be a very loose goal, i.e., “read more historical fiction”, “read my owned TBR”, etc.)
7. Read a book by an author you love
8. Read a book in a genre you don't read as often in Middle Grade
9. Read a book from a previous TBR (doesn't have to be specifically a Middle Grade Magic TBR)
10. Read a book featuring Latin American folklore or mythology.
Here are some resources to help find options for books with awards!
