  3. Great list Adriana! I cannot even begin to express how much love middle-grade books. Ravenous is on my TBR for 2016 :) Have you by chance heard of Baker's Magic? It's due to be released February 1, 2016 - it's oh so good!

    1. Have you read Monstrous? I still need to read it! I think it's a separate story from Ravenous though.
      I have heard of Baker's Magic, but I'll have to take a look again because I can't recall what it's about. I love food and magic so I'm not surprised you liked it.

  4. A lot of these sound very good! Middle grade books have the best/cutest covers! :D I am going to read only middle grade for the first bout of books challenge of the year. What is one of your favorite middle grade books?

    1. I know! All the covers in general coming out in 2016 look amazing. I feel like Publisher's constantly put out better and better covers.
      I love A Week in the Woods (sentimental childhood reasons), Journey to the River Sea, and the Lightning Thief series is the best. I know that's more than one (;

  5. I'm so excited with everything on this list. I'm really curious about Raymie Nightingale as Kate DiCamillo is popular with the kids I work with at the library.

    1. She's pretty popular everywhere! It feels like a book where you want to say to the MC - girl you know it's not your fault right? And give her a big hug.
