Early June 2016
The past few weeks have truly made me feel like a kid again --- and not just because the warmer weather has me eating popsicles like they're going out of style. The beginning of June means the start of a new season of Potter-mania as readers start to gear up for the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD. I feel like a proud parent seeing all of you identify with your favorite houses --- yes, even you Slytherins. Several of our Teen Board Members are planning on taking bookish vacations in Hogwarts this summer, which you can learn more about in our June Report from the Teen Board. I'll have more information on how you can celebrate in our next newsletter, but don't worry, there are plenty of other fun bookish events coming up!
THE MUSEUM OF HEARTBREAK, Meg Leder’s young adult debut, was released on Tuesday, June 7th and the launch party was held at the fantastic NYC bookstore, McNally Jackson. I attended this event with Teenreads.com’s Rebecca Munro, who has nothing but praise for this novel. After listening to Meg, I know that this is a book that I have to pick up right away.

At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren’t for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England. Like that could go wrong. Promo
