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.

If you go to my Goodreads account, you can see what I have read recently & click on the books to learn more.

Last week on the blog: 

 Last week in reading:
 

Best picture books: The Most Beautiful Thing is a lovely story about a special grandparent and learning what's important. I Am One: A Book of Action is all about how we can each make a difference in the world. A Journey Toward Hope is a moving story of a varied group of child refugees. And finally, I absolutely adored A Place Inside of Me and I linked the review above. 

Best YA: Darius the Great Deserves Better was just as good as the first Darius the Great or maybe even better. I love, love, love Darius. Body Talk is a wonderful nonfiction exploration of how we relate to our bodies and all things body for teens. It's a great mix of voices. 

Best adult books: The Bride Test and A Sweet Mess were just the romcoms I needed this week. Fun and cute and definitely not for the young ones. They were a little steamy. 

The Coming Week:
I'm plowing through some digital ARCs from Netgalley this week. I have the YA fantasy Vicious Spirits and middle grade Fly on the Wall waiting for me. I also downloaded some new audios from Libro.fm, but I'm not sure which one I'll start after The One and Only Bob. Happy reading!

    These books sound great! The Darius the Great series sounds excellent—it's always great when a sequel lives up to expectations! The Most Beautiful Thing sounds great as well! Thanks for the great post!

      I highly recommend the Darius books. I have re-read the first book multiple times already. :)

    Those books sound great! How do you make the collage of covers? I can barely figure out how to do one cover at a time!

    I had a lot of fun reading The Bride Test. Huong is a funny writer.

      Hi. I go into my Goodreads account to make the collage. I go to my shelf of read books and then click to the view of covers and screenshot it. :)
