Last Days to Enter October BookDare

Even Monsters Need Haircuts,
 by Matthew McElligott 

 Thanks again to Adam Lehrhaupt  for his #BookDare challenge. This has definitely been a challenging month!

In September, I forgot to post my reading list and be entered for the giveaway. Don't you do the same in October. Hop over to Adam Lehrhaupt's blog and comment on the books you've read this month which correspond with the categories below. If you missed this month's challenge, stay tuned. Adam posts a new list each month. Tweet your favorites and get a conversation started.

I usually try to coordinate the BookDare list with my regular MG/YA reads, but in preparation for Picture Book Month, I decided to choose picture books which fit the themes. It's a lot of fun. I hope you'll join us in November.
