I had scheduled this post last week as a TTT, but that didn’t work out. Here it is now! Last month I highlighted the best 2020 middle grade releases that I had read this year. I also wanted to highlight some titles that I’m still excited to read some day. I read an unprecedented amount of new releases this year (around 30? Though not all were MG), but there will always be more books released than one get to in a lifetime, yet alone a year. So here’s a little shout out to these titles that I’ve heard lots of good things about. Links to Goodreads.

What 2020 titles are you still looking forward to?
I’ve only heard of a couple of these but I’m super intrigued by Show Me a Sign!
It is a pretty unique story for a MG book! I have had it on hold for awhile but the library’s single copy is missing…
I’ve heard good things about Whispering Pines, I would read that one😁
Right! The cover is so cool too haha.
agh i wanna read when life gives you mangoes and whispering pines so baaad!!
They both look excellent, hey? Hope you can enjoy them soon!
agh yes they do! and same to you!
There are so many cute covers here that I’ve got to check out! I’ve been eyeing Pepper’s Rules to Secret Sleuthing for a while now, and since it keeps showing up in different places, I might just have to buy it soon!
Right! Middle grade cover designs in recent years have been really stand out Hope you enjoy if you get a copy, would love to hear what you think. 🙂
Duftapotheke 4. It is a german mg series that hasn’t been translated to English but has been to Dutch. I own it but haven’t read it yet. Currently reading pages and co 3 so hopefully that will be good 😀
That looks like a fun series! Enjoy. Too bad it hasn’t made it to English yet.
