My #MustReadin2016


     One of my new year's resolutions is to begin blogging more. So...I am dusting off my blog I began over a year ago and getting the cobwebs out of the crevices. With that in mind, I am SO very excited to begin my journey of #MustReadin2016!
     I had a really hard time deciding which titles to add to my list, as I often feel there are too many books and not enough time. I finally had to make the executive decision that the books I would be adding to my list are those middle grade books that I just couldn't wait for, and my list would ensure I didn't forget them. My list is in no particular order, just ABC to help me find them! Drum roll, please...

     I feel really funny leaving my list at nineteen books, particularly since I tend to number patterns and even amounts (weird, but true!). However, I know this list will grow and won't really end up at nineteen. Pfew! I can't wait to begin!

Until next time,
Jill
