Guest Blogger Schedule

September 21, 2020 by Steven Engelfried   Leave a Comment

Earlier in the month I mentioned that some of this year’s books will be introduced by Guest Bloggers on Heavy Medal. Almost immediately, more than a dozen brave souls volunteered! So for the next couple months we’ll have at least one post per week by a Guest Blogger. Each of them will examine a single book. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to introduce other titles, usually two or three at a time, on one or two other days each week. I don’t have a fixed schedule for the books I’ll write about…but the Guest Bloggers do. Here the full list, with dates included, so Heavy Medal readers can be ready to join the lively discussions that will follow each post:

FROM THE DESK OF ZOE WASHINGTONFriday, September 25

KING AND THE DRAGONFLIESFriday, October 9
