I'm not sure if I'm in a reading slump or if life is just getting in the way. Maybe both? But mostly life, really. I have a toddler, we're shopping for our first home, and I even occasionally have work.
That being said, I have been working my way through the All the Wonders podcast while working and am really loving it. It helps to have a host that is so enthusiastic about kidlit.
I recently finished the Newbery winner, The Girl Who Drank the Moon. I liked it, but didn't love it. As an artist, though, it was wonderful--there were lots of great images in it, and I couldn't resist the urge to sketch some.
I've been meaning to put together a black-and-white/middle-grade section for my portfolio lately, and I've been trying to find recent-ish (last decade? last 5 years is better) MG novels I could illustrate for that purpose, SO, if anyone happens to read this and has any recommendations, I'm all ears.
