I'm pleased to announce that Louise will return to blogging and reviewing for The Nonfiction Detectives in February. At that time I will pass the baton; Louise will run the blog solo in 2017 while I serve on a book award committee until 2018.

Cathy!! Thank you so much for including Coyote Moon on this list!! I am honored to be among such amazing titles!! I've read and really enjoyed the majority of theses titles, especially Crow Smarts (since I'm a bird nerd), Some Writer for its illustrations, and Blood Brother was very powerful and timely. And Daniels is from my hometown of Keene (and I went to Jonathan Daniels Elementary School for Kindergarten, though at the time, I had no idea who it was named for!)
ReplyDeleteI'm especially looking forward to March II & III (since I've only read I so far), and Bubonic Panic (which I won on your blog, but haven't yet read).
Thank you again, & very happy holidays!
And it must be so much fun for both you & Louise to serve on these committees! :)
Thanks for recognizing You Can Fly: The Tuskegee Airmen, my debut book with my son, illustrator Jeffery Weatherford.
ReplyDeleteWonderful list. What a year!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see I already have half of the list, and I know what to order when school starts up again!
