If you're like me, you're always looking for more good books for the classroom or just some more great middle grade books to read. A quick search led me to three great new places to find more book ideas.
Charlotte's Library: A great blog I've just stumbled across and immediately subscribed to. There are lots and lots of book reviews and recommendations here, with a focus on fantasy and science fiction, but encompassing other books as well. Go and subscribe now!
101 Out-Of-This-World Books For Kids Ages 8-13: Exactly what it says it is - 101 briefly annotated book recommendations. A quick count revealed I already have 28 of them in my classroom library and all of them are great books! Arranged into themes/genres for easy organising.
Good books for Grade 5 and 6: A list of books from the Logan Library in Utah. Includes publication dates.
And don't forget Jen Robinson's Book Page: a great book blog filled with kidlit news, great reviews and book lists.
Have fun finding some new books!

In addition to the great sites you mention here, I must recommend Jen Robinson's Book Page. Jen includes indepth book reviews, topic-based booklists, and a recap of weekly kidlit news. Here is the link:
