This Week's Round-up of Middle Grade Science Fiction and Fantasy From Around the Blogs (12/14/14)

I myself have been missing in action for much of this week--library booksale time (and I miscalculated--I thought  I'd get a rush of holiday shoppers looking for book bargins, but it seem as though most people don't give used books as presents....odd).

Let me know if I missed your link!

  2. Not a shocker, I'm sure, but I give a lot of used books as presents. And new, ones, of course. Hope the sale goes well and you make it through without too much stress. Not having a book fair this year was a lovely vacation.
