“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!
Happy New Year, friends! While I know things aren’t magically going to change just because it’s 2021, it really feels good to put 2020 behind us. I’m looking forward to a fresh year of reading.

Super Fake Love Song is in my pile, but I always seem to be passing over it. The Comeback is one I really want to read.

You have books on your list today by some authors I admire. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve added Super Fake Love Song. Is it a sequel to Frankly In Love? The Comeback: A Figure Skating Novel has also been added to my list.
