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!
Tuesday: Cross-Curricular Discussion Guide for Above the Trenches by Nathan Hale
Thursday: Wagnificent by Bethanie Murguia

Today is my day off from IMWAYR, but you can learn more about any of the books I’ve been reading by checking out my read bookshelf on Goodreads.

I am mildly embarrassed to share that I have fallen into a deep dark pit of romances, but I really enjoyed Abby Jimenez’s The Friend Zone. Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Frost and Starlight was my least favorite of the four that I’ve read thus far, but I am reading the fifth, and it is off with a bang. I’ve been hooked back in.
The young adult books that I read were wonderful. Byron Graves’ Rez Ball is a well-written, powerful story of one boy’s grief over the death of his brother. He attempts to follow in his brother’s basketball footsteps. Sports lovers will really enjoy this book, but it’s accessible to all readers. There’s a perfect balance of basketball and character/plot. Kim Johnson’s The Color of a Lie is a historical fiction and an absolutely phenomenal read. I won’t spoil anything, but I am going to review this book in the next couple of weeks. I loved it.

I am currently reading Thirsty by Jas Hammonds. I’m halfway through the book and really enjoying it.

Rez Ball has been on my TBR for awhile and I keep forgetting to get to it. Thanks for the reminder! I have read a couple of romances this summer and surprised myself by really enjoying them. Abby Jimenez is an author I’d like to try.
We got Theodora Hendrix in at work, and I’m in love with the cover. I’ll be eager to read a bit more about it!
