    The Hex Hall series is really popular in my library, and Hawkins' new title is always checked out as well. The Soviet Cooking memoir looks intriguing.

    I also loved Mr Tiger Goes Wild. Just read it this week. Can't wait to read Hello, My Name is Ruby. The cover is stunning. I have been watching for this book since I first saw Stead was to have a new picture book out. Are you enjoying Living with Jackie Chan? Another title I am very interested in!

      I am enjoying LIVING WITH JACKIE CHAN but for some reason I'm not tearing through it the same way I did JUMPING OFF SWINGS.

      I was bummed because there was an event last Monday for HELLO MY NAME IS RUBY but I couldn't go because I have class in the evening on Mondays.

    Thanks for this great list! I am familiar with some of the titles (The Very Inappropriate Word and ABC vs 123) but am happy to see some new titles as well. Lots of reviews lately about Mr. Tiger Goes Wild and Hello, My Name is Ruby looks lovely. Sidekicked is next on my novel list! Have a great week!
