Great Middle Grade Reads discussion

I'd personally like to thank Sarakat for the splendid job she's done looking after our Book of the Month nominations, selection polls, and reading threads for the past three years.

It's a big job, with not a lot of inspiration, sometimes, and occasionally not a lot of takers for the reading aspects, either. Sarakat has brought both lively discussion and interesting twists to the nominations.

I'm pleased to say she's staying in the Moderator office, but with a back seat for now. I'm taking over the BOTM for this year, unless someone else would love to have a go! Just let me know, anytime!

While I'm here, I'd like to thank C.J. for continuing with the A to Z and Series Challenges - and of course, it's time for you to sign up for the 2022 ones as soon as she's made the sign-up posts :)

Many thanks, Sarakat! You done good.

Yep, we'll have new reading challenges for 2022 ready to roll with the turning of the year! : )

It's a bit of a thankless job for all of you. I enjoy this group and appreciate each of you for the effort it takes to keep it going.

Thanks.

Thanks Sarakat (and Jemima).

Thanks, SaraKat. I look forward to the BOTM nominations every month every though I don’t always have the time to read or am able to get a copy of the book. Nonetheless your efforts are much appreciated. Thanks also Jemima, for taking over next year. Happy New Year everyone.

Thank you for all the work you put into the BOTM nominations, SaraKat! I appreciate the time and effort all the moderators put into this group. Thank you! Thank you!

I really thank you all for keeping things rolling while I've been distracted. I'm going to try to get back on the wagon with reading the BOTM suggestions, though I've not managed January :)
