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 in Books:

I read quite a few picture books this week, but these are the four that were most interesting. You Might Find Yourself is done with collage and shows the different places and situations that one might find themself. School Days is a photographic collection of the daily activities of children at a school. I liked it because it seems like a great mentor text for a class to share about their day. Dads is another photo collection and this one shows the many ways dads interact with their families and how they may move through their days. There is a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities represented. I Sang You Down from the Stars is a gorgeous and loving book about what an Indigenous mother does to prepare for her new child. The author and illustrator are both Indigenous. 

I read and enjoyed the middle grade fantasy The Time of Green Magic for a book club I am in. Again for escape reading, I also read an adult romance - How to Fail at Flirting.  

The Coming Week: 

I'm still listening to Chlorine Sky and I am still reading the four books above Straight from the Horse's Mouth, Sisters of the Neversea, The Collected Works of Audre Lorde, and Cultivating Genius.  Have a great week!
