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!

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.

Middle Grade
My 9-year-old son and I listened to Buffalo Dreamer by Violet Duncan. We really liked it. It tells the story of a girl who is visiting her family, and her grandfather is an Indian boarding schools survivor. While she is there, she keeps dreaming of a girl who is running from an Indian boarding school. There aren’t many books available at the middle grade level about Indian boarding schools, so I am really glad this book exists. It was well-written and engaging.
Young Adult
On Starlit Shores by Bex Glendining is a graphic novel about a girl who is packing up her grandmother’s house after her death. There is a bit of magical realism/fantasy in this book, which I really enjoyed as a reader.
Adult
I love Lucy Score’s romance novels and enjoyed Maggie Moves On. She does a great job building characters.
Overruled by Lana Ferguson is an adorable romance about divorce attorneys. This one had some depth to it, which I always enjoy in a romance!
Love is a War Song by Danica Nava is an Indigenous love story about a popular singer who makes some racist mistakes. She decides to visit her reservation to wait out the media fallout. It’s a wonderful romance that I highly recommend.
I was blown away by Virginia Evans’ The Correspondent. I listened to this one on audio and loved it. It is well worth the hype–very well-written and thought-provoking.
I am rereading Mexikid by Pedro Martín for my class this week! I love this book!
Thursday: Sofia’s YA Book Nook: The Heart of Everything by Marc Levy
