Books on Books

The Gathering Books blog mentioned that they are participating in the meta-reading theme for October. They asked for some recommendations and as a HUGE fan of meta-reading, I had to stop what I was doing and put together a list. Actually, I ended up with four lists, one for each age group: young children, picture books, middle grade, and adult. While these lists are mostly fiction, there are some non-fiction books included. If the book is from a mystery series that is book themed, I've only included the first book in the series to get you started.

Young children:

Picture books:

Middle Grade books

YA books

Adult books

Will be sharing your list in our Facebook Page - this is just plain awesome. Thanks so much!
