This week's roundup of middle grade fantasy and science fiction from around the blogs (11/16/14)

The good part about being the first one up is the peaceful house; the bad part is that there is never a roaring fire and toasty warm house waiting for me.  Today was the first day this fall when my hands were almost too cold to type...but I bravely persevered.

Please let me know if I missed your post!

And also at Views from the Tesseract, the Tuesday Ten this week is Science Fiction and Fantasy Militaries

At Tor there's a peek at a book of concept art from the Harry Potter movies (the sort of book that would make a good present).

And finally, this is funny-- "Interview with the Choosing One" at An Awfully Big Blog Adventure  (ever wondered who writes those rhyming prophecies?  find out here!)
