“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!

- Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas
- Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender
- Goldie Vance: Larceny in La La Land by Hope Larson
- In Love and Pajamas by Catana Chetwynd
- We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire by Joy McCullough

This was such a good reading week for me! I’ve had more time to listen to audiobooks, which has been so nice.




- The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman
- The Girl and the Ghost by Hanna Alkaf
- All You Knead is Love by Tanya Guerrero
I’ve already started The Infinity Courts, which is one of my most-anticipated reads of the year (check out my Can’t Wait Wednesday post about it here!) and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
What are you reading this week?

Lovely books you’ve read and are to read! I will be reading Love and Other Moods by Crystal Z. Lee, The Charity of Strangers by Alison Burke and The Polly Principle by Davina Stone! 📚

I looked up some of the descriptions and bookmarked a few. There are so many great books to read & I guess I’ll never catch up, but I do enjoy reading them. I’ll look especially for the Joy McCullough book. I loved Blood Water Paint. Thanks, Ari!

I loved Cemetery Boys and I am eagerly waiting for Lost in the Never Woods! I may have to check out All You Knead Is Love because that title alone is delightful and who doesn’t love a story about baking?
