I agree that reading mentor-texts is the way to go to guide you in your own writing. I've read a lot of Cynthia Rylant's picturebooks, but not her middlegrade novels as much, thanks for sharing these titles. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-49443803544590407612014-07-14T17:25:50.336-04:002014-07-14T17:25:50.336-04:00Loved The Meaning of Maggie - I'll be so inter...Loved The Meaning of Maggie - I'll be so interested in your thoughts about this book, Melanie.

I will be adding these to the TBR. It sounds like you are finding good mentors for your writing. That struggle with finding time for everything is always there. Good luck finding more time for professional reading this week.
