We are not alone...

...in our enthusiasm, as adults, to read YA and Children's Lit. According to their blurb on the Children's Literature Network site: Chapter & Verse is a national book club for members of Children's Literature Network and other children's literature enthusiasts in their communities who wish to discuss children's and young adult fiction, nonfiction, picture books, and poetry. Currently there are only two chapters and the newest is starting this month at The Red Balloon over in St. Paul.

It's free to join, but the biggest catch for many of us in our group is their 3rd Thursday set meeting date. However, I wanted to let people know about this relatively new group and encourage anyone who wants, to check them out (or at least their reading lists).

Also, for all you media specialists, want-to-be authors/illustrators and general enthusiasts of YA & Children's books, please check out the Children's Literature Network (CLN). They have a lot of information on their site re: events, book lists, book reviews and more that are viewable without membership and more resources if you decide to become a member.

Cheers!
