Does every book have to be graphic-ized?!?
I’m 79 years old and for some reason my brain just cannot comfortably handle graphic format. But I know these books are very popular with young readers.
I’m not against them if they are originally written that way. But I’m not a fan of “regular” books being redone in a graphic format.
Hi Travis! I have a new novel coming out in 2025, “The Gate, The Girl and the Dragon”!
Oh man – I knew about this and I missed adding it. Thanks for the reminder! I added it in.
Rock Paper Incisors! the third book in the beloved Skunk and Badger series by Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake and Caldecott illustrator Jon Klassen is scheduled for release in October 2025!
Thank you! I’ll add it in!
Wow what a great list, thank you for doing this!!
What a mind-bogglingly amazing collection of new books to look forward to! Thanks so much for gathering and sharing these books. So excited to read them!
Oh man. EYES AND THE IMPOSSIBLE 2!!!!
Yeah – I wasn’t expecting that one!
