elissacruz I did just read THE PRINCE WHO FELL FROM THE SKY that came out this spring. I thought that was a pretty interesting book. #MGlitchat -9:07 PM Jul 12th, 2012      
              
              
AniProf If possible, I'd love a two cents summary of a book you recommend. #MGLitChat -9:07 PM Jul 12th, 2012          
              
              
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty I'm thinking we'll be doing a reading list after this chat... ;) #mglitchat -9:07 PM Jul 12th, 2012

PBWorkshop #MyLouisianaSky by Kinberly Holt was really unique perspective/situation. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
MLConklin @AniProf WONDER >> Boy with a facial deformity starts 5th grade at a new school, and tries to fit in with his classmates. #MGlitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012

KateMilford Late but present! Hi, all! #mglitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
Mike_Jung Going back a few months, ABOVE WORLD by @jennreese & THE CABINET OF EARTHS by @annenesbet are both terrific. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012              
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @KateMilford Welcome! #mglitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012           
              
              
ilanawaters @PBWorkshop Awww...I like it! #mglitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012     
              
              
elissacruz @DanyelleLeafty (Thanks for the @MixedUpFiles shoutout.) FYI everyone else, we do those new release lists every month. #MGlitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012

ruth_donnelly Enjoyed Bliss by Kathryn Littlewood, fun story about a magical bakery, family belongingness , all sorts of magical shenanigans #mglitchat -9:10 PM Jul 12th, 2012             
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @Shelby_Bach Welcome! #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012          
              
              
Shelby_Bach @DanyelleLeafty Thanks! :-) #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012         
              
              
elissacruz @DanyelleLeafty It was very different than I expected, but I still liked it a lot. Postapocalypic fiction from POV of a bear. #MGlitchat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012     
              
              
AniProf Just out of sheer curiosity, what country/state do you hail from? Me? NY/USA #MGLitChat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @ruth_donnelly *adding this one to my list* I love the sound of the premise! #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012

ixtumea My 11 yr old loved VORDAK books. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012      
              
              
AniProf Sorry, but I'm really curious. #MGLitChat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012  
              
              
Mike_Jung A recent release that knocked me out is FLYING THE DRAGON by @natalielorenzi - a great story about crossing cultural boundaries. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jul 12th, 2012           
              
              
kristinlgray @WaldenPondPress' GUY READS: Sports Pages audio is FREE for short time. http://t.co/ZhARgPjV #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012 
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @elissacruz Yeah. That's definitely not a run of the mill story. ;-) #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012    
              
              
ilanawaters @DanyelleLeafty I know, right? It's like reading a cartoon. Wish Pixar would make an offer! #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012              
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @ixtumea Yes! VORDAK is made of awesome. :D #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012              
              
              
ixtumea I was able to get 2 bags of books from #ALA12 for my 11 yr old who grabbed them and closed his bedroom door. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012      
              
              
ruth_donnelly I'm just starting The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict... prequel to the previous 3 in the series #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012             
              
              
Shelby_Bach I just read two books I really enjoyed: CHAINED by @LynneKelly and SMALL MEDIUM AT LARGE, by @JoanneLevy. The first made me... #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jul 12th, 2012

AniProf @ilanawaters Brave is fantastic! #MGLitChat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012         
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @ilanawaters I know! Are you listening Pixar? #mglitchat #awesomebooks -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012    
              
              
KateMilford This is the summer reads thread, yes? GEEKS, GIRLS AND SECRET IDENTITIES by @mike_jung is at the top of mine. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012        
              
              
Mike_Jung Of course my anticipation over @KateMilford's THE BROKEN LANDS is close to insane. Look, just bringing it up's making me drool. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012       
              
              
elissacruz @DanyelleLeafty Oops. I mean post apocalyptic. Did you know that's hard to spell? #lol #MGlitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012          
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @ilanawaters The artwork really brought the story to life. *loved it* #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012            
              
              
KDuBayGillis Sorry I'm late! Did I miss a lot of hot titles already?? #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012              
              
              
Shelby_Bach cry, and the second made me laugh. CHAINED is about an Indian elephant keeper, & the second about a 7th grader who hears ghosts. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @ruth_donnelly That's sounds interesting. *adding more to my list* #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012            
              
              
Mike_Jung @KateMilford Aw, gee whiz Kate... *paws at ground with foot* #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jul 12th, 2012

AnshaKotyk @KDuBayGillis yes I think we've listed quite a few already, have no fear, the transcript will appear later ;) #mglitchat -9:14 PM Jul 12th, 2012              
              
              
MLConklin I have one window open to #MGlitchat and one to Goodreads, adding to my TBR pile by the minute!! -9:14 PM Jul 12th, 2012
              
              
ixtumea Saw SMALL MEDIUM AT LARGE at #ALA12 They weren't giving out galleys but I've been hearing good things about this bk. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Jul 12th, 2012        
              
              
AnshaKotyk @MLConklin oooh that's a really good idea!! #MGlitchat -9:14 PM Jul 12th, 2012          
              
              
PBWorkshop @MLConklin re: Surprised to read a somewhat flat review of #Wonder in July/Aug HornBook. I found it powerful, unforgettable #mglitchat -9:14 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
Mike_Jung @KateMilford BUT I DIDN'T SEE YOUR TWEET FIRST! It's like, a tie! Almost! Kind of? OH FINE YOU WIN ;) #mglitchat -9:15 PM Jul 12th, 2012         
              
              
ruth_donnelly @KateMilford I can't wait to read this one! #mglitchat -9:15 PM Jul 12th, 2012          
              
              
MLConklin @Shelby_Bach OMG I've been wanting to read that! Cover is gorgeous. #MGlitchat -9:15 PM Jul 12th, 2012            
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @elissacruz *grin* Yep. I usually have to try a few different spellings to see which one looks right. #mglitchat #sheepish -9:15 PM Jul 12th, 2012
              
              
Shelby_Bach @ixtumea Yes!!! I LOVED SMALL MEDUM AT LARGE! #mglitchat -9:15 PM Jul 12th, 2012              
              
              
Mike_Jung @ixtumea Thanks, I'm glad he was happy! That's what we want to hear, right? :) #mglitchat -9:15 PM Jul 12th, 2012

MLConklin @PBWorkshop Well, you can't win 'em all. I've heard nothing but buzz! WONDER #MGlitchat -9:16 PM Jul 12th, 2012          
              
              
KateMilford Also super-excited about THROUGH A GLASS GRIMMLY (Adam Gidwitz). Only fact that I'm in research mode's keeping me from those 2. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
ixtumea Lisa Schoeder's new Cupcake MG is fab. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Jul 12th, 2012            
              
              
DanyelleLeafty @KateMilford Yay! He's coming out with another! Definitely on my list! #mglitchat -9:16 PM Jul 12th, 2012   
              
              
Shelby_Bach @MLConklin I'm such a fan of both, and actually, I can't bear to put either of them away. The covers are too pretty! #mglitchat -9:16 PM Jul 12th, 2012       
              
              
Mike_Jung Next up on my TBR stack is @kim_bak's PICKLE, which looks flipping hysterical. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Jul 12th, 2012

KDuBayGillis @ilanawaters Ha! The way these chats fly, missing 15 minutes means missing a lot of great stuff! #mglitchat -9:17 PM Jul 12th, 2012    
              
              
ixtumea For my 11 year old? More graphic novels. Action packed boy tales. No girly covers please. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Jul 12th, 2012

MLConklin @KateMilford awesome! I'm guilty of mainly digital research these days--scans, not copies, so it helps. Easier to hide a pile. #MGLitchat -9:36 PM Jul 12th, 2012           
              
              
Amiegr8tstuff @PBWorkshop @AniProf @Bec_AS i think so :) #MGlitchat -9:36 PM Jul 12th, 2012

MLConklin @KateMilford Hey, I'm under a year! But research is like drinking from the fire hydrant, no matter how long you've done it. #MGLitchat -9:37 PM Jul 12th, 2012

rachelgrinti @DsBSC If you use Tweetchat it does it for you. But it can be slower to update than Tweetdeck #mglitchat -9:37 PM Jul 12th, 2012     
              
              
KDuBayGillis @PBWorkshop My WIP has this element. Worries me a bit. Seems like there are more to come, too. Like ZIP coming in Sept. #mglitchat -9:37 PM Jul 12th, 2012

PBWorkshop @KDuBayGillis Not a prob (to have Dad there, Mom gone). Each does seem to take it's own path. Just as Cancer stories do. #mglitchat -9:41 PM Jul 12th, 2012
