Top Ten Tuesday: Quiet Middle Grade

This week's topic is quiet books - books you enjoyed and want more people to read. 



Here's a few I've talked about previously.

As I started looking, this very quickly turned into a middle grade post.

Top Ten Tuesday: Quiet YA

This week's topic is Quiet YA - books that are really great but haven't gotten a lot of buzz. I really love this topic. Here are some Quiet YA titles that I've read this year. I'm also including a few middle grade reads too...

Top Ten Tuesday: Hidden Gems

This week's topic is hidden gems or Quiet YA (books that have flown under the radar), but that are amazing and need to be shared. I'm picking from books I've read this year that I feel could use a little more love. These were excellent books that have so much in them to discuss.

Top Ten Tuesday: Quiet Books

This week's topic is  Ten Books I Really Love But Feel Like I Haven't Talked About Enough/In A While or as it's talked about on Twitter- Quiet YA (with a side of a few middle grade books). For me, many of these were emotional reads or books I couldn't put down.
