Publishers Weekly released their annual Fall Children’s Announcements issue this week, including their preview of the upcoming (in this case, Spring 2016) season.

This is always one of my favorite issues, which I approach with the same voracious glee that a much littler me approached J.C. Penney’s mammoth holiday toy catalog. I was lucky enough to snag ARCs for a few of the titles on my To-Read list at BEA this year, but I’ll still be back at the bookstore filling in the rest…and buying hardcovers of the ARCs as I often do, because book addiction.

I should also mention that listed in the Spring 2016 Preview, under “Penguin/Penguin Young Readers” is one of my upcoming early readers, The Star-Spangled Banner.
