Day 5: From Picture Books
to Young Adult
Day 1 was a total blast for me with Introductions.
Day 2 was about Blog Development and Fiction
Day 3 was about Literary Fiction. It was also a giveaway day – don’t miss my post, I have 4 books for grab open until the end of Armchair BEA!
Day 4 was about Ethics in Blogging and Non-fiction
Day 5 is also about Keeping it real, fresh, and fun
***
Day 5 genre is Picture books and YA.
Having neither young children, nor teens, nor grand-children, and having some grey hair, these are not my most common books to read. But I do occasionally read a few YA and even this year, thanks to book blogging, started reading a few picture books.
Here are a few reviewed here I would like to highlight. You can access my review by clicking on the book cover:

I didn’t know Age of Miracles was YA! I will check it out. My favorite on your list is The Secret Garden, but my all time favorite is Dr. Seuss. Happy Reading!

well, it is a coming of age story in sci-fi context, so i thought it could be counted as YA, I may be wrong

I really enjoyed The Humming Room. The Secret Garden was one of my favorites as a child. I loved reading the dialect aloud.

You’ve reminded me that I need to pick up Flotsam! I think I read it a while back but now I’m drawing a blank. And I love Wiesner, so I need to make sure I own it, too.

I’ve been meaning to get Chu’s Day for my nieces but haven’t yet! I liked The Secret Garden! I didn’t really get into Age of Miracles. The Vanishing of Katharina Linden and The Humming Room both sound like something I need to check out!
