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!

Four books this week, all adult!
I read A Game for Swallows: To Die, to Leave, to Return by Zeina Abirached. It was on display as a librarian favorite. It’s similar in graphic style to Persepolis and is set in 1984 Beirut. It is a wonderful book.
Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary was in our theaters, so I had to read the book, of course. I really enjoyed it–much more so than The Martian. It had great themes about humanity that I appreciated.
My amazing, incredible, kind colleague, Nina McConigley, wrote this book, How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder. Even if I didn’t know her personally, I would highly recommend this book. It is set in the 1980s and features two sisters who decide they need to murder their uncle, who is sexually assaulting them.
Libby Page’s This Book Made Me Think of You is a story about a woman who is grieving her significant other. He worked with a bookseller before he passed away to organize a year in monthly books to help her grieve. This is a book about books, which is always a good thing.
