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: My Towering Tree by Janna Matthies, Illustrated by Ashley Wolff

It’s 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.

I enjoyed The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez. Her stories make my heart feel full.
I read The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. I see the argument/premise of his book, but I found it to be a bit too alarmist. Because it is so strongly worded, I know it is selling really well. I know that there’s been some disagreement among scholars about this text, so I’ll be intrigued to read more of that scholarship.

I am doing a large content analysis on young adult literature, so I am not able to read much (ironic, right?). It’s taking up all of my time because I am reading so much scholarship!
Sunday: Author Guest Post: “Web of the Spider in the Classroom” by Michael P. Spradlin, Author of Rise of the Spider

I’ve added The Anxious Generation to my list. I read Generation Dread last year. That was about growing up in the face of environmental collapse. I’m wondering if this is addressed in The Anxious Generation.
I’ve also added The Happy Ever After Playlist but will probably read The Friend Zone first.
