“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!

- Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore
- Lawless Spaces by Corey Ann Haydu
This past week was super hectic, so I only finished two books–but I really enjoyed both of them, so I’m not complaining!




- Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi
- Samira Surfs by Rukhsanna Guidroz
- Lore Olympus, Vol. 1 by Rachel Smythe
I’ve been listening to Bitter on audio for a while and am hoping to finally finish it this week! I’m also really looking forward to the other two books on my TBR this week–I’ve been on hold for my library’s copy of Lore Olympus and was so excited that it was finally ready for me.
What are you reading this week?

Want to read Lake Lore. I love the author. My Monday reading list

Thanks for sharing these books today. I am especially keen to read Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi. I love Pet by her. Have you read The Death of Vivek Oji?

No, I haven’t read that one yet but it’s on my TBR! I just finished Bitter yesterday and really enjoyed it. It’s definitely a must-read if you liked Pet.
