It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.
What I Read Last Week:
My family was on vacation for most of last week, so I didn't get very much reading done! I was too busy! We went to the beach, and did a lot of bird and sunset watching. Now that we're back home, I'm trying to unpack and get our house back in order!
A good chunk of what I read last week was for the August reading challenge, hosted by Middle Grade Madness on Goodreads. Middle grade books are one of my favorite genres, so I'm always happy to delve into my MG TBR.

What are you reading?
Most of your books are new to me. I did get a review copy of Caterpillar Summer and enjoyed it much more than I expected to. I don't read much YA/Middle Grade contemporary these days. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Caterpillar Summer too, also more than I expected! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love, love, loved both Caterpillar Summer and Sweep. And Scar Island was an INCREDIBLE audiobook — such a great narration and a great deal of spookiness! I’m very much looking forward to getting my hands on Be Prepared. I hope you enjoy it too, Wendi!
ReplyDeleteOh, Scar Island sounds great on audiobook, I'll have to do a reread sometime. I like Sweep a lot, so far! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI really enjoyed Scar Island as well. I took a bit to get into Sweep but it just got better and better. Be Prepared was really good too. I am hoping to get to Caterpillar Summer and City of Ghosts soon. The latter before the whole series is done! Thanks for the great shares, have an excellent reading week.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear about Sweep, I'm a few chapters in and feel like it's dragging! I'm give it a fair chance! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI really enjoyed Caterpillar Summer. It definitely made me wish I lived in a beach house. I'm glad you had a good vacation. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know, didn't it seem like such a fun place to live? Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat beautiful photos! Sounds like a nice vacation :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED City of Ghosts! Can't wait for the sequel next month! I enjoyed Scar Island, too, though I liked some of Gemeinhart's other MG novels even more, especially The Honest Truth.
Looks like a great reading week for you - enjoy your books this week, too!

I know, I can't wait for the sequel either! I agree about Gemeinhart as well, I loved The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, but still thought Scar Island was good. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWe have similar tastes in books. The Good House is going onto my wishlist. My weekly updates
ReplyDeleteIt was a really good book, I definitely recommend it! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI'm impressed that you enjoy middle level books so much. I teach 7th grade (pre-algebra) and being around that age group of kids I know how great it is for them to find good literature.
ReplyDeleteMy stepson is ten and a middle grade reader, and it's fun to find great books to read together. Honestly, I'll keep reading once he goes on to YA, though. There's some gems in the middle grade genre! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI think your streak of grear summer reading will continue!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope so too!
DeleteI just posted a review for Rogerson’s Sorcery of Thorns, it was very good.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week
Oh, that's good news! I'll have to check out your review. Thanks for stopping by!
