The only ones I've read are The Book of Lost Names which I think I really enjoyed (it's been a bit) and Song for a Whale, which we did as a read aloud last year and all loved. I think you'll enjoy it, the main character loves poetry, poetry for the deaf was so interesting to me, her grief process felt very real, her parents felt like real parents who are trying to do their best and I related to them a lot. I didn't always love her choices but what parent loves every choice their kid makes?😉 Anyways, I need a book with more than 2 POV for March.....haven't decided yet. My daughter said The Love Note by Politano but I dunno....

[@EbethM1989]

Song for A Whale is on my TBR for March too!

[@kellywillingham585]

I think I have all of the City Spies series. I hadn’t thought about it, but I might just have to add it to my March TBR. If nothing else, the first, at least. 😊

[@YW2324]

I love your ❤ videos so much Chantel!!!! 😊 You seem like you are such a nice and sweet person. 😊 I love anything you come out with. 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks for being here! ☺

[@YW2324]

​@@ChantelReadsAllDay Of course 😁. You are awesome 😎.

[@humblyhaley]

So many books on your list that I’ve been wanting to get to myself! I can’t wait to see what you read and hear your thoughts 😊

City Spies is great!! The forth book just came out, and I'm really looking forward to reading it!

[@sandra3616]

The green design on Montgomery's poems looks like clothes hangers.😆

[@abundanceintheson_467]

Lol!

[@msrichardsreads]

Song for a Whale is fantastic!!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Hope you enjoy them all. Best wishes.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I totally get you with what you "should" read vs what you want to read. That's why i end up dnf'ing some that i own more often than not. Then i decide if i want to own it to read later or if I'm ok with just getting it from the library.

[@ChautonaHavig]

I haven't even started to think about Middle Grade March. EEEP! I need to think about it!

[@annieobrien9783]

I like your picks. They are all so different. I am reading mostly Nancy Drew for MGM because I am also doing March Mystery Madness. I try to pick at least one off my shelves too.

[@carlyhunt5339]

I’m going to read The Lost Year for the Doyle prompt in March. I plan to read nothing but middle grade all month. My brain needs a break from all the fantasy 😅

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I hope you love The Lost Year as much as I did, it's amazing!

[@proverb31girl]

I'm reading the middle grade book The Candymakers for the challenge. It has 4 points of view and is a good fun read so far!

[@sandra3616]

I've never heard of Letters to/from Malcolm, either. I may have to look at reading that one, since I seem to be looking at all the prayer books this year (or at least a few). I have a few friends who would likely own this one.

[@laurametz4288]

You are going to love The Book of Names!!! It’s fascinating!

[@MargaretM.]

Oh! The Book of names has been highly recommended to me! I am excited to see what you think of it.

[@breannawilliamson9787]

Margaret Peterson Haddix was my life!!! You need to read The Shadow Children series! I loved The House On The Gulf.

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I’m going to be reading City Spies for middle grade March too.

[@BookLoverAmanda]

I have really enjoyed Amy Lynn Green’s books so far but haven’t read that one yet. Interested in your thoughts!

[@abundanceintheson_467]

I haven't found a book yet for your RYBSC -- I actually bought the one you mentioned because I need one and sounded interesting.

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚 Love your channel, Chantel. I'm reading The Book Jumper by Mechthild Glaser for two POV. Buzzword read will be The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. My one word middle grade is Savvy by Ingrid Law. Debut, Manatee Summer by Evan Griffith Immigration, Front Desk by Kelly Yang Animal on cover, Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley Missed out, Wonder by R.J. Palacio These are already on my bookshelves and also need to be read. 🤗

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

That sounds like a great line up for the month!

[@starlasell5698]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay Thank you! I'm so excited. 😁

[@BookLoverAmanda]

This is my month to get through as much middle grade as possible too!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Let's do it!

[@BookLoverAmanda]

I have song for a whale on my 24 in 2024 to read so probably going to read that too!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Oh man, that book has been on so many TBR's of mine. 😬 Definitely need to read it already.

[@sarahstangledtales]

City Spies sounds interesting. Sadly I don’t normally click with MG these days so I probably won’t be reading anything for MG March unless it’s by accident. 😂

[@abundanceintheson_467]

I thought the first Shelby Holmes was cute and worth atleast one read (the second one for some reason didn't hite the same). March 9th here/now -- So, I started with five books on my TBR: 1. "Dune Messiah" by Frank Herbert 2. "Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe" by Heather Webber 3. "Rooted in Wonder " by Eryn Lynum 4. Poems by Emerson 5. "Homeschool Bravely" by Jamie Erickson I have finished #1, DNFed #2, still reading #3 & #4, and set aside #5 BUT, the big surprise (for me) is that I am doing "Middle grade March". I kind of stumbled into it by reading a Nancy Drew mystery that was actually really good!!! I thought I would be bored but I was not 😮 (It was "The Mystery at Lilac Inn"). My daughter has picked a book (so far) each month for me to read and the Nancy Drew was March's pick... And now I am mood reading through some Middle grade novels 💜💜💜💜 Do all months have themes on Book-tube? If not, what ones have themes? I know of Vic-tober and I hope to participate this year, too

[@victoria9663]

This beautiful truth was in my top 10 two years ago. It's profoundly good. It is actually my next nonfiction reread after my current read!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Great to hear!

[@tamamo91]

I am reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah for Montgomery!

[@ReadBrucey]

City Spies is a great series. I am planning to read the one that just released for Middle Grade March.

[@amyofhearthridge]

I totally thought that Letters to Malcolm was a real person when I read it! 😅 I found out much later that it was fictional. 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️

[@jaimeg.3012]

For the multiple points of few I am reading "The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle". I read it last year and LOVED it but I want to read it again to see if I can pick out any clues that I missed the first time. For the two points of few I am reading "The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan which is book 1 of The Kane Chronicles. My son recommended this one to me because it was one of his favorites growing up.

[@believeinyourshelf]

I loved House on the Gulf. It even made it into my favorite books of 2023 video. 😊

[@psalm19creations]

My March TBR keeps growing, and March isn't even here yet 😬 Also, I had no idea it would be so hard to find a book with only 2 POVs 😅 Every time I think I've found one, there's been at least one small moment where we get a third POV, so I'm not sure yet what I'll be reading for that one. City Spies has been on my radar for a year or two now, so I'll be curious to hear what you think about it!

[@abundanceintheson_467]

March 9th now and I strongly agree!!!! I am having a hard time finding books with only 2 POV!!!! And even a harder time finding ones worth reading... 😢 I have DNFed two that I did find because one was boring and one was too depressing. I just ordered the one Chantel picked because 1. It sounded interesting (the letters bit) 2. I feel like I am tired of looking and researching on Google to find POV...

[@psalm19creations]

@abundanceintheson_467 I've DNF'd one this month too. But then I picked up The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip and it appears to have 2 POVs, so I'm hoping it ends up working out. My only other option at this point (that I know for sure) is a 500+ page book.

[@abundanceintheson_467]

@@psalm19creations I am glad you found one 💜 So far (20 pages in), "The Lines between Us" is good (and 2 POV). I like that it is a different approach to WW2 as I get tired of WW2 historical fiction so easily as it sometimes seems to be the only historical fiction anyone writes...or it feels that way!!!!

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Chantel What ever you read I hope that you will enjoy the books you do read. Take Care & Happy Reading ❤️🤗🙏☕️🔰📚📖📕❤️

[@ashleamarshall9370]

I'm thinking the most recent Jaime Jo Wright book for 2 POV.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Oooh, good idea! That makes tempted to read her April release via NetGalley . . . it completely goes against what I'm trying to do by reading what I own . . . Now you've put me in a difficult spot . . .

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

But you'll clear off your Netgalley. Lol. AND be on time with your review.

[@ashleamarshall9370]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay If you need an ebook to read, it will work. Plus, clearing your NetGalley shelf is one of your goals, too.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD haha, thanks for trying to help! I actually haven't requested that one yet so . . . 😬

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay ahhh then do this 🙅‍♀️🙈🙉

[@Readingindarknesss]

So I just did a spoiler book review for Forever or a long long time. And I have some thoughts. And I’d love your opinion on them since you read the book. I don’t normally talk spoilers but I had to vent! So if you could watch it and give me your thhoughts, I’d love it!

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

Yeah, as I recall (and it's been a while), Letters to Malcolm is not very much like Screwtape. It's barely fiction. In fact, I'd just call it non-fiction, I think. I guess you could say the same about Screwtape, but there's at least a veneer of a story there.

[@Walkerfam96]

Can I start the challenge now as long as I start with the January prompt?

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Absolutely!
