It will be difficult for many to wait until April for this book. I am planning a full review for tomorrow, but in short, it is perfection. It was so good that I reread it right after finishing it. Kate DiCamillo has a remarkable gift.

I love Leslie Connor's books and this one is great so far!
Just received this in the mail over the weekend. Excited to really get into it this week.
What Are YOU Reading Friends?
Loved Perry Cook, even though I didn't think I would, but haven't read Raymie yet. Will have to see. Not a huge DiCamillo fan.
ReplyDeleteWow, between NNE NerdCamp and ALA, you scored the jackpot! So jealous that you got Raymie!
ReplyDeleteLots of books to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteThe cover of The Whale is so intriguing - Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked up The Whale, I noticed that there is another book about Ethan Morrow coming out too. What a wonderful group of books you managed to get, Gigi. I'm looking forward to many!
ReplyDeleteso many exciting books on this list. I think I am most interested in Raymie Nightingale.
ReplyDeleteI have heard so much about Snappsy, it looks hilarious! I always get requests for funny books, so I love having new titles to offer! :)
ReplyDeleteHow can I get my eyes on Kate's new book? Really? April? Sigh... Thanks for all the new books to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well this is certainly a list of books that I can't wait to find myself! Thanks for highlighting!
ReplyDeleteAha! That explains why The Whale didn't make it to a lot of end-of-year lists - it's only due out in April in some parts of the world. We already have it in our library and absolutely adored it. The Jessixa Bagley title is also one that caught my eye. I have yet to read Boats for Papa. :)
