It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? From Picture Books to YA!
It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme started by Sheila at Book Journeys and now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. 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!
Kellee and Jen, of Teach Mentor Texts, 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.

Happy Memorial Day! I’m taking this Monday off to enjoy my three day weekend, but I will update you next week 🙂
Also, just as a heads up, I’ll be taking off two Mondays in June also: one for Future Problem Solvers International Conference (anyone live in Wisconsin?) and the other for the American Library Association Annual Conference (anyone going to be there?).

Happy Memorial Day! I spent the last week working on the details for my sister’s bridal shower that was this Sunday. I apologize that I missed out on visiting blogs last week, but I promise to be better!
I finished listening to The Great American Whatever by Tim Federle. What a fantastic book! I particularly loved that the author read the book. This made it feel quite special. This text provides a lot of great opportunities for discussion, and it would make a great addition to high school classrooms.

I’m in Madison, WI, Kellee! 😉
How far is that from La Crosse?
It’s a little over 2 hours between Madison and La Crosse. (La Crosse is right on the Mississippi, while Madison is in the middle of the southern part of the state. Some very pretty hiking around the bluffs near La Crosse!)
Can’t wait to see you at ALA, Kellee! 😀
I’m so excited!
Kellee – I’m in WI. 🙂 I hope your time off is great. Ricki, I haven’t tried Scythe yet, but have enjoyed some of Shusterman’s work before.
Me, too! I am a big fan of Shusterman!
Are you? Where?! I’ll be in La Crosse.
Ricki, I think SCYTHE is a book I will try and get to this fall. Headed back to FL for the summer and the box of books is packed!
Hey Kellee, I’ll be at ALA, we should meet up 🙂 🙂 🙂 hee hee.
I can’t wait to compare notes!
As I’m sure I’ve mentioned, I LOVE Neal Schusterman! I hadn’t heard he had a new one out, so I’ll need to get my hands on it.
Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend – here’s to good reading in the week ahead!

2017 Big Book Summer Challenge
Yes! I am so excited to get farther into it!
Hi Ricki, I had Scythe from the library but ended up with no time to read it. It sounds like I need to reserve it again.
Kellie, enjoy your time off!
I haven’t read any Neal Shusterman books but I’ve definitely heard how good they are. Happy Reading!
