Happy December, Kennedy! I'm also grateful for my family and for books. I'll also add that I'm thankful for my dog and for ice cream!

I loved this book. At the end I was really emotional and had tears in my eyes. It's so sad!"

I'm so glad you loved the book, Kennedy! I thought the writing was beautiful, and I loved the relationship between Grisha and Maggie. Did you have a favorite part?

Kennedy wrote: "I also really like Coraline, and The Graveyard Book, both by Neil Gaiman."

The Graveyard Book would be perfect for a fall read, maybe for next October? I am a big Neil Gaiman fan!

Kennedy wrote: "Halloween is over! Who else has Christmas music playing?"

Haha! I haven't started playing Christmas music yet, but I did watch a Christmas movie on tv a couple of nights ago! I love this time of year!

Kennedy wrote: "This is the bee's bookshelf, so I'm just wondering... Who has competed/is competing in the actual bees?"

That's a great question, Kennedy! Do we have anyone here who's competed in a spelling bee before?

I love Lauren Oliver, but I haven't read Curiosity House yet. I'm going to need to add it to my to-read list!

Happy November, everyone! We'll use this space to discuss our favorite moments, words, and characters from this month's book: The Language of Spells. Happy reading!

When I was younger, I loved reading Nancy Drew mysteries! I also really like everything by Trenton Lee Stewart—his mysteries have a lot of puzzles, and I like to try and solve those along with the characters.

Kennedy wrote: "I was thinking... maybe we could read stuff from the goodreads choice awards to get an idea about what to vote on?"

Hey, Kennedy! I saw that they just released the list of titles for 2018 today! Which ones do you think we should read? They all look so good to me!

Kennedy wrote: "I was thinking... maybe we could read stuff from the goodreads choice awards to get an idea about what to vote on?"

I think that's a great idea! Have they released the list of titles for 2018 yet, or were you thinking we should read some of the 2017 nominees?

Kennedy wrote: "There are a good books called the secret series, by Pseudonymous Bosch, A series of unfortunate events, by Lemony Snicket, Curiosity house, by Lauren Oliver, The war that saved my life, by Kimberly..."

These are so great, Kennedy! I can't wait to read these. I have had the Pseudonymous Bosch series on my to-read list for awhile, so I'll probably check those books out first! Thank you for the recommendations!

That's awesome, Kennedy! I can't wait to see all of your recommendations. I love to read, too!

Emilio wrote: "I liked the incredible magic of being and I'm glad we picked it for book club. I really liked how Julian liked dogs because I like them too. Do any of you have a dog? Hope you guys liked it as much..."

Hey Emilio! I'm so glad you liked the book—I really enjoyed it, too! I have a dog named Chester who turns four years old in two weeks. Do you have any pets?

Hey Emilio! I'm so glad you liked this month's book. I also really enjoyed reading about life from the perspective of an armless person, and I love books that include a good mystery.

Kennedy wrote: "Hey Molly, have you read the books that are picked before?"

Hey Kennedy! Good question! I work for the Bee and am in charge of selecting the books for the Bookshelf each month, so yes, I do read the books before they're announced. I'm always interested to hear if you guys like the books I choose, and I'd love to hear your suggestions on what we should read next.

Hello, friends! Happy October! We'll use this forum to discuss Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus. I can't wait to hear what you all think of the book, and to see if any of you can figure out the mystery before the ending! Happy reading!

Hey, Arnav! Thanks so much for sharing your favorite words with us! I love when authors include fun details for their readers to discover. If you didn't know the meanings of ascuigamano and munshifa then you wouldn't get the joke!

We'll use this space to talk about our favorite words, characters and moments from this month's book: The Incredible Magic of Being by Kathryn Erskine. I can't wait to read your thoughts about the book! Happy reading!
