It's Monday! What are you reading?


It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. It's a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It's also a great chance to see what others are reading right now...you just might discover your next “must-read” book!

Kellee Moye, of Unleashing Readers, and Jen Vincent, of Teach Mentor Texts decided to give It's Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children's literature - picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels, anything in the world of kidlit - join us! We love this meme and think you will, too. We encourage everyone who participates to visit at least three of the other kidlit book bloggers that link up and leave comments for them.

Last Week on the Blog:



Last Week in Books:
 


My favorite of the week had to be A Torch Against the Night. It was a great follow up to An Ember in the Ashes. They are YA fantasy novels that swept me away to another place. It was on my #MustReadin2017 list so I get to cross one off already.

Next Week in Books: 
I have a lot of books on hold. Several of them are from my #MustReadin2016 list. I am still chipping away at the ones that I really wanted to finish.

  1. Ido have An Ember in the Ashes on my list. Maybe someday? Thanks for sharing about the second book, too!

  2. I can see where Ember in the ashes would be good. I even started it, but it was too violent for me.
