“It’s Monday! What are you reading?” is a weekly meme hosted by Book Date. The folks at Teacher Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers have given #IMWAYR a new lens by focusing on books for kids & teens. Check out their blogs to see what they’re reading!

I had such a good reading week and really enjoyed all the books I read! It was especially fun to read some holiday-themed romances.
- Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon
- Just Mercy: Adapted for Young Adults by Bryan Stevenson

I’m on my library’s planning committee for our Book To Action program, and Just Mercy is the book we’re focusing on. I’ll mostly be working on getting teens involved in the project, so I’m reading the YA adaptation to get ready!

My aim for 2021 is to expand the genres and types of books I read, along with reading some non-fiction and there are several books on here that have already caught my eye. Hope your 2021 is safer and more positive than 2020 has been.

I’m glad you had a good reading week! My sibling actually just bought copies of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow and Super Fake Love Song, and they’ve also been wanting me to read the Heartstoppers series for a while now (which I should really do). I just got a copy of Deaver’s book I Wish You All the Best, and I didn’t know that it had a sequel! Thanks for the great post, and have a happy new year!
