I must read Shortest Way Home, by our mayor, Pete Buttigieg, before next week’s book signing! My local indie bookstore, The Brain Lair Bookstore, will be hosting the event, and I can’t wait to see the turnout!

By the end of the week, I will have Shout in my hands. We are road-tripping to see Laurie Halse Anderson on Friday while she is in the area for her book tour (We might even follow her around Saturday, but shh…I’m not sure yet.).

Some great reading and some local events headed my way! Have a nice week!

It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme 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 your next “must-read” book!

Kellee Moye, of Unleashing Readers, and Jen Vincent, at 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 visit at least three of the other kidlit book bloggers that link up and leave comments for them.
