“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!

What are you reading this week?

Nice looking bunch of books. It’s been a while since I read middle grade and YA. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

I read Bitter last week! It was good but I was also disappointed? I don’t know, I have mixed feelings about it.

I’m listening to it on audio and am about 30% of the way through so I don’t have an opinion yet but that’s interesting to hear!!
