The title of my newest read is Keeping It Real by Paula Chase, and I feel like “keeping it real” is a good phrase for my life right now. I’m not really reading much of anything today, but I’ll catch up later in the week. What a Monday! Back-to-School is no joke. (Greenwillow Books publishes Keeping It Real on October 19, 2021. We can’t wait!)

It’s Monday, What are YOU reading?

IMWAYR is a weekly blog hop with kid lit co-hosts Jennifer from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee and Ricki from Unleashing Readers. 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. It’s a great way to share what you’re reading and get recommendations from others. We encourage you to write your own post sharing what you’re reading, link up, leave a comment, and support other IMWAYR bloggers by visiting and commenting on at least three of the other linked blogs each week.
