“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!

Last week was such a good reading week! My e-reader has been acting up lately, which means that I haven’t really been able to read eARCs recently. This means that I’ve really been embracing library books and physical books that have been sitting on my shelf for a while. It’s been nice to read what I want and not worry about release dates!
- We Light Up the Sky by Lilliam Rivera
- Salt Magic by Hope Larson & Rebecca Mock
- I Hope You Get This Message by Farah Naz Rishi
All three of these have been on my TBR for ages, so I’m super excited to finally read them!
What are you reading this week?

I’ve gotten too used to reading ebooks, my hand aches after holding two paperbacks this week.
Wishing you a great reading week

I know what you mean! I’ve had carpal tunnel syndrome on and off for the last year and ebooks have been so much easier for me to read.

I’ve tried, and I keep trying, to read digital books, because I appreciate how practical e-readers are. But I just can’t seem to get over my love affair with physical books. 🙂

I’ve really relied heavily on my e-reader during the pandemic and I think ebooks are my favorite way to read! But I do enjoy the satisfaction of a physical book, too.
