These are the ones I'm keeping my eye on to storytime that are coming up:

6/6
"My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Magic, Magic Everywhere!" (Perdita Finn, usually does the EqG chapter books)
"My Little Pony: The Elements of Harmony Vol. II" (Brandon T. Snider, did the last EoH Guidebook)

8/1
"My Little Pony: The Movie: The Stormy Road to Canterlot" (Sadie Chesterfield, has only ever done that "Canterlot High Tell-All" book before for MLP)

8/29
"The Art of My Little Pony: The Movie" (No specific credit for who put this one together, but I see listed on Amazon, "Hasbro (Creator), Rebecca Dart (Introduction), Jayson Thiessen (Afterword), Meghan McCarthy (Foreword)")
"My Little Pony: The Movie: The Deluxe Junior Novel" (G. M. Berrow, usually does the pony chapter books)
"My Little Pony: The Movie: Adventure Awaits (Replica Journal)" [No specific author here either, just "Hasbro"]
"My Little Pony: The Movie: The Great Princess Caper" (Again, just "Hasbro")

9/21
"The Ultimate Guide: All the fun, facts and magic of My Little Pony" ("My Little Pony" is listed for this one, right)

Also, the books are here if any of you are curious and never really took a look at them before.
Princess collection or Daring Do collection would be a good place to start:

>What is the elements of harmony about?
It's like a big reference book that has some neat concept art and insights about production from the staff strewn about it with lots of full color pages. First one had a bunch of stuff from Faust in it.
I'd guess the next one will be more of the same minus Faust's stuff.

Berrow books are really good. Are you going to story time the Ponyville Schoolhouse ones?

Completely missed those. Age level looks to be 8-12, so it may be something of substance. I'll try the first one out and see how it goes. After a quick search it looks like this will be the first one to come out on July 3rd.
Don't see any books for this Penumbra Quill author for them, so I have no clue how it'll turn out.

>>30224144
Oh neat. I will have to check that out.

Those three books you read were all pretty nice. There's only a handful of the books that i don't like though. I liked how the Anons in the Flurry book storytime were laughing at how it killed the comics. Now in retrospect it's also interesting seeing how the faith in Mike Vogel set in there. He did well in the last episode ranking survey I did and his episodes seemed well received in the strawpolls and episode stickies.

What about those two made you think there were rewrites that showed? Did they seem disjointed or something?

What do you have against the Lyra and Bon Bon book and the Daring Do series?

>>30224181
Apparently its a pen name for Nicole Dubuc.

Those two?
I am just talking about the trixie book. They discarded the dragon stuff way to easily for it to make sense.
I just think both secret agent bon bon and daring do being real were mistakes I refuse to show any sort of support for.

That did sound a bit too ponyish for a real name. I recognize the Rebels episodes she wrote, but if Berrow didn't translate well to episode writing for most then I can't assume the inverse would turn out well for this one either.

Fair enough.
>I just think both secret agent bon bon and daring do being real were mistakes I refuse to show any sort of support for.
You mean the concepts in general? Something about how they were done in the show sour them for you?

Looks like this one is coming out the same day as that one if Amazon's release date is correct.

Also this description for the series makes me a bit uneasy about what it'll be worth:
>Ideal for younger and more reluctant readers, this new original series complements our existing chapter book program with numbered titles, shorter page counts, and a perennial popular genre. These spooky stories are sure to appeal to all My Little Pony fans--both girl and boy.
Got a slight chuckle out of the "both girl and boy" at the end there though.

I mean, its still meant for like, 10 year olds. So it can't be that simple. I was reading novels for adults by then.

>>30224296
The fact that they specifically seem to say it's not meant for those readers is what's lowering my confidence.
