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!

It’s my week off! However, you can learn more about any of the books I’ve been reading by checking out my read bookshelf on Goodreads.

I have never read a book that depicts homelessness in such a raw, emotional way. This memoir is beautifully written, and I am in such awe of Rex Ogle. I will be using Road Home with my young adult class.
In Katherine Center’s Hello Stranger, a woman goes in for brain surgery and ends up emerging with face blindness. I have read a lot about this condition, and it was really helpful to read and understand more about it.
Jasmine Guillory’s While We Were Dating is a sweet romance. I loved the strong woman lead. Her confidence was really fun to read.
Thursday: Sofia’s YA Book Nook: How to Survive Your Murder by Danielle Valentine

The Road Home is soooo heavy! I love Rex Ogle (I met him last summer) and admire his bravery for telling his stories — this one is amazing and needed. My students will read anything Rex writes!
Have a great week!
