It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is a weekly blog hop hosted by Kellee and Ricki of 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.
Head over to Unleashing Readers to join the link up and share your reads from this week!
I ended up handing 1968 and Lila Greer, Teacher of the Year to colleagues this week, but wow! Such amazing books! Since I was born in 1968, it was interesting to read about all the happenings that year (besides my birth – LOL!). Our school’s TOTY is a top 10 finalist for Indiana now, and we are so happy for her!
This week I’m reading some more of the same…great books! Oh, HAPPY EARTH DAY! Amil and the After is a reread for me, and doesn’t have to do with Earth Day, but I love it! (Have you read The Night Diary yet?) The picture books are new to me and I shared them today at school. Fox is particularly haunting, but necessary for nature to move along.
It’s Monday! What are YOU reading?

What a great set of books, Jennifer! Amil and the After and The Night Diary both sound like incredibly beautiful books, and I’ve never seen any books talk about the split of India and Pakistan before—I know the author, Veera Hiranandani, has some other books bloggers have really enjoyed. The picture books are great Earth Day picks too! Thanks so much for the wonderful post, as always, and enjoy your week!

Thanks for the heads up about these books. I know about the partition, and probably learned about it from reading some kind of historical fiction.
Veera Hiranandani wasn’t even on my radar, but I will try and find time to read her work now.
