It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? From Picture Books to YA!

It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journeys. It is a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It’s also a great chance to see what others are reading right now…you just might discover the next “must-read” book!

Jen Vincent, of Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels, anything in the world of kidlit – join us! We love this meme and think you will, too.

We encourage everyone who participates to support the blogging community by visiting at least three of the other book bloggers that link up and leave comments for them.

 Last Week’s Journeys

Kellee: This was a crazy week for us! I was planning for Trent’s birthday party all week, so I didn’t get much reading done though I did finish listening to The Lion of Little Rock by Kristin Levine which was so wonderful! I am so glad that I listened to it.

The only new book Trent and I read this week was How Do Dinosaurs Say Happy Birthday? by Jane Yolen which I reviewed on Friday. It was a great birthday book.

Ricki: This week, I finished another book on my #mustreadin2015 list: The Secret Hum of a Daisy by Tracy Holczer. The writing was stunning, and I was happy to go back and read her guest post from last year. Everyone in my YA book club loved it, and we had a fun time discussing it. I suspect many of you have already read it, but if you haven’t I highly recommend it. I also finished The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers by Johnny Saldaña. My head is spinning at all of the coding possibilities. It was a good read, overall, though.

This Week’s Expeditions

Kellee: I am still reading The Cure for Dreaming which I am very much enjoying. Cat Winters is such a unique writer! In the car, I am going to start listening to The Family Romanov which I am very much looking forward to.

Ricki: Kellee has been telling me to read Life in Outer Space by Melissa Keil for quite some time. I finally got around to ordering it via Interlibrary Loan and am excited to read it!

  1. Happy Birthday to Trent one more time, Kellee. Glad you liked The Lions of Little Rock. And Ricki, The Secret Hum of A Daisy is just a sweet book, I agree. Hope you both are warm and cozy. It’s supposed to be 1 degree in the morning (just heard).

      Both books are so special! Such a great message of friendship in each.
      (Not to rub it in)It is super hot here for February! I wish we could all share and make the temperature perfect.

  2. Princess in Black would have been a favorite in our house had it been published when my girls were small! I may buy a copy for my middle school library because it is just SO delightful!

  3. Wanted to let you know that my review of Emmanuel’s Dream went up this week. It was so exciting to win a copy from you, and it will go to great use in my classroom library. Thanks again!

  4. I just read Lions of Little Rock this fall, and I really enjoyed the story. All of the other titles you both talk about in this post are ones I have not heard of before. Now I have a bunch more for the TBR list! Have a great reading week!

  5. I adored The Lions of Little Rock! Glad to hear you liked it too. I tried to check out The Secret Hum but, unfortunately, our library’s copy is already missing! The Family Romanov is excellent, but I found it SO sad.
