“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!

- The Black Girls Left Standing by Juliana Goodman
- Singing With Elephants by Margarita Engle
- Dream, Annie, Dream by Waka T. Brown
- We Are the Scribes by Randi Pink
I didn’t have a ton of reading time in the last week, but I still managed to finish 4 books and I really enjoyed all of them! I’m really looking forward to recommending all of these at my library.




- Across a Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti
- Iveliz Explains It All by Andrea Beatriz Arango
- Dauntless by Elisa A. Bonnin
I just started all three of these and am really enjoying each of them! I’m looking forward to finishing them this week and seeing where each story goes.
What are you reading this week?

Glad to hear you are enjoying your current books. Hope all three finish strong.

It’s great to see you on #IMWAYR, Ari! All of these books look excellent—I have a copy of Across a Field of Starlight that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while, so it’s great to hear you’re enjoying it. Thanks so much for the wonderful post!
