It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
For readers of all ages
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly blog hop we host which focuses on sharing what we’re reading. This Kid Lit version of IMWAYR focuses primarily on books marketed for kids and teens, but books for readers of all ages are shared. We love this community and how it offers opportunities to share and recommend books with each other.
The original IMWAYR, with an adult literature focus, was started by Sheila at Book Journeys and is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. The Kid Lit IMWAYR was co-created by Kellee & Jen at Teach Mentor Texts.
We encourage you to write your own post sharing what you’re reading, link up below, leave a comment, and support other IMWAYR bloggers by visiting and commenting on at least three of the other linked blogs.
Happy reading!
Wednesday: Student Voices: Lindsay Currie’s Visit to Kellee’s Middle School
Friday: Student Voices: Reflections on School from Faten I., Ajani G., and Amber D.

This is my week off! You can always learn more about any of the books I’ve been reading by checking out my read bookshelf on Goodreads.

Adult
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman has been on my list for a long time. I enjoy all of Backman’s books, and this one was no different. I was a bit surprised that this makes so many “Top Ten Books of All Time” (and similar lists) because it felt like some others that I’ve read that I liked a tiny bit more. That said, it was a pleasure to read!
This thriller, This Story Might Save Your Life by Tiffany Crum was recommended on a few lists, so I gave it a try. It took me on a wild ride. My sister and I listened to it together, and we absolutely loved it.
Adult Romance
This book, One & Only by Maurene Goo has a really neat premise, and it was a GoodReads challenge book. It’s not a spicy romance, and it offers deep thinking about a lot of topics. I really enjoyed it.
I read book 5 before book 1 of this series, and now I’ll read the others in between. I love sports romances!

I am currently punishing myself with Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It’s slow…but I do like the complex themes!
Wednesday: Sofia’s YA Book Nook: Homeschooled by Stefan Merrill Block (not quite a YA book, this time!)
Friday: Student Voices: Reflections on the Current State of the World from Livie S. and Edie M.

The book feature on Unleashing Readers was informative and enjoyable. It shared the story in a way that felt exciting and encouraging for young readers. https://www.djoinerbooks.com/
