We have reached the end of this journey through my most popular posts of the past! Thank you for coming along with me, and do let me know in the comments if any of my posts are personal favorites of yours.

In the number 3 spot, we have a list that I put out just last April. It’s gotten 210 views in that time, and I’m so happy both to be able to spotlight these excellent and much-needed books, and that it seems to be filling a need for kids who, like my own, are hungering to see themselves reflected in books.

The #2 post is even newer, published in September 2023. It’s gotten 191 hits since then, which if it keeps up, will put it at 382 hits by its first birthday. What magic-loving child hasn’t dreamed of going to magic school themselves? This list has a range of options – and there are even more in my first list on the topic, Magical Middle School.

Drumroll, please – the one you’ve all been waiting for – the number one post – my list of winter-themed fantasy books. This one has gotten 1,194 view since it was posted in December of 2020, for an average of 398 views a year. I’m so happy to find other people who love winter as much as I do, even if I am secretly a bit puzzled at its year-round popularity.
