I suppose that this is more for me than anyone else... but I wanted it to be known that I have been appointed to the 2019/2020 ALSC Notable Children's Recordings committee and, thus, won't be posting what I read / listen to much. Sure, if it's a print book I'll list it here, but what with the many hours over the next two years (!?!) that I'll be LISTENING to books that are in contention, I won't be able to post those here.
