Twitter Tuesday: Holly Black #DollBones Twitter Chat


One of our good friends, Aly over on Kid Lit Frenzy, will be hosting a twitter chat with Holly Black on Thursday, August 15th at 8 p.m. EST.  The chat will be all about Holly's fantastic middle grade book, Doll Bones.

You all know how much Mundie Moms love Holly's stories, and the chance to share them with our children only increases our fangirl factor. My ten-year-old daughter and I decided to read Doll Bones out loud, so that we could both enjoy it at the same time. What an experience! We read about two to three chapters at a time and finished the book in well under a week. There were nights where we decided that it's best not to read it right before going to bed because the story is just the right balance of friendship and quests and creepy-dolls-your-mom-buys-in-thrift-stores. We would have these wonderful discussions about "what do you think is really happening?" and "what do you think will happen next?". And in my opinion, only the very best stories inspire those thoughts. Look for our review on Mundie Kids soon, and our Doll Bones blog tour stop next month here on Mundie Moms, but in the mean time, pick it up so you can read it in time for the #DollBones chat. 

This book is an absolute classic. I can't stop talking about it and neither can my tween. In fact, while we were at the beach this past Sunday, we sold it to two of our friends who bought it right there on the spot. Thank goodness for e-readers and smartphones. Our friends started reading it immediately, forgetting about the beach and the lake only a few feet away. And my daughter and I may have read over their shoulders and laughed at their reactions. 

Yes, it's that good. We both promise you, it's THAT good.
