It’s become something of a tradition for me and my mom, CJ, to host our very own #BookADayMay reading challenge via our book blog, Middle Grade Carousel. This is a fun way to get a jump on those year-long reading goals and get a little extra reading in before the summer heat hits!

"The two-story shop's walls were covered floor to ceiling with bookshelves and autographed black-and-white photographs of famous magicians. Every surface was cluttered with magical items of every sort: crystal balls, decks of cards, top hats, wands, capes, and even a human skull." -The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris

"Trolzor, the barkeep, had given Mulrox the notebook as a surprise a few months ago. The tiny book was wrapped in purple fabric and, on the front, was a toad outlined in gold. It was so lovely he hesitated each time before writing in it, afraid to screw it up with his messy ideas." -Mulrox and the Malcognitos by Kerelyn Smith

"The front of the creature's body looks like a galloping horse, while the rear looks like the tail of a serpent. The mane and tail look like they are made of long flowing strands of seaweed, glistening and translucent in the shimmering green glow." -Song of the Deep by Brian Hastings
