Middle Grade Monday is a feature started right here at Reading Nook. It's a way to share news or reviews of middle grade novels on a blog that doesn't exclusively post middle grade content. Feel free to join any time and link up.
Today I have the lovely Jessica Day George here to answer a couple of questions in honor of her recent release Wednesdays in the Tower.
1. What's your favorite story that features a castle?
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
2. You write fantasy novels, do you have some other genre stories sitting around your house unfinished? Or are you strictly fantasy?
I have two Regency romance novels on my hard drive that I will one day publish!
3.What are some differences between writing middle grade and young adult?
In middle grade I feel less pressure to include a romantic subplot. I also tend to have more action-driven plots in my middle grade, and more character-driven in my YA books.
4. What is a book you've read recently that you can't stop recommending?
Where’d You Go, Bernadette? By Maria Semple. A lovely, well, dramedy that’s for adults, but I totally recommend to teens as well.
5. Describe the Castle Glower series in 5 words.
Magic castle loves its princess.
Jessica Day George is the author of many novels including the Princess series, Dragon Slippers series and of course the Castle Glower series.

Fun interview! I haven't heard of this series, but it sounds fun :)
