I mentioned this briefly during Children’s Reading Week, but I want you all to know that next Wednesday (May 26) we’re launching a children’s/teen e-newsletter called Reading Corner. I am really excited about this project because I love teen and middle grade novels (see here, here, here… here) and I think it will be a lot of fun to share our children’s coverage with a group who especially appreciates books for young readers.
We’re creating the newsletter for parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, young readers and adults who love kid lit. Each issue will be filled with interviews, news and reviews of the best new books—and much of the content will appear in the newsletter before it’s published on BookPage.com.
In the first edition, we’re doing a mega-giveaway. You could win these five new novels (a couple of which I’d bet will be serious Newbery contenders). So, if you want a chance to win the books, sign up for the newsletter here.
As we approach the launch date, I’d love to hear any thoughts on what type of kids books you like to read about: picture books? dystopian teen novels? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section, and I hope you enjoy Reading Corner!
I’ve already signed up! I enjoy YA novels but the kids in my life range in age so I’m interested in everything from picture books on up.
I just finished One Crazy Summer — absolutely adored it! Not since the March sisters have I loved a set of sisters so much.
One reason I love teaching is the opportunity and excuse to read children and young adult books. I have already signed up.
Advantageously, this post is really the greatest on this notable theme. I fit in with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your forthcoming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the wonderful lucidity in your writing style. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Authentic work and a lot of success in your business efforts!

I’m looking forward to reading the young adult book, Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill (author of Soul Enchilada)! It’s due to be published at the end of August 2010 by Greenwillow Books/HarperCollins.
