With a name like From the Mixed-Up Files of Middle Grade Authors, it’s obvious that we’re all about middle grade books over here. As MG writers and readers, our goal has always been to bring awareness, enthusiasm and celebration to books for 8-12 year olds, creating a *home* here at MUF for anyone and everyone who loves books for what we like to refer to as the Golden Age of Reading.
So color us delighted when we learned about the kindred spirits behind the brand-new iLoveMG initiative, a push to celebrate MG in all its glory and to make sure the fantastic books for this age group don’t get overlooked.
Want to be part of it? Join the inaugural #iLoveMG Twitter week, with these fun theme days (plus, yay, giveaways!):
Monday, January 25: Diverse MG recs
Tuesday, January 26: If MG were pop songs/artists #MGpop (i.e. One Direction Came Home, Because of Winn Dixie Chicks, etc.)
Wednesday, January 27: MG I wish I had (when I was a kid)
Thursday, January 28: Throwback MG
Friday, January 29: MG Mashup (i.e. A Wrinkle in Circus Mirandus, Three Times Wonder, etc.)
You can also sign up anytime for the iLoveMG newsletter, which will share news about all things MG. Check it all out, join the party, and as always, Happy #MG #kidlit reading!
