It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme started by Sheila at Book Journeys and now 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 the next “must-read” book!
Jen, of Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee and Ricki, at UnleashingReaders decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus.
I’m so excited that it’s the week of Halloween. It’s officially my favorite time of the year and I hope to see lots of costumes at the library this week. I spent the weekend watching Halloween episodes of my favorite TV shows and getting in the spooky spirit.
Here’s what I’m currently reading:
The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory
This is my adult fiction library book read for the week. I love stories about contemporary royals and this one has already been so fun. It’s about a princess and a spy trying to unravel what happened to her runaway groom. I’ll read anything that says it’s for fans of Princess Diaries and The Royal We

Ash by Malinda Lo
Somehow I got both of my teen book clubs that I run at the library to read this YA book. It’s a lesbian, feminist retelling of Cinderella. It’s something I would normally never pick up on my own (just because I don’t read much fantasy-esque books) but I’m really enjoying it. I can’t wait to hear what the teens think of it.

So Done by Paula Chase
I just started this middle grade novel and I hope to finish it before my e-book check out expires. It explores friendship and growing up. It’s about two best friends that seem to be growing apart while dealing with their own secrets.

I’ve been so curious about So Done. I hope you’re able to finish it in time. It’s so frustrating when time runs out. I’ve actually downloaded an e-library book to my Kindle and disconnected my Kindle from all wi-fi for a coule days just so I could finish the end of a book. I was that desperate just a couple weeks ago (and there was a huge line of people who were wait listed for the book). lol

The Royal Runaway is on my wishlist. Ash I’ve read and loved. So Done is on my TBR and I will be reading it soon. My weekly update.

Ash was on my list but my queer niece, who reads and writes about lesbian books, pretty much talked me out of it. I am keen to read So Done but will have to read Piecing Me Together first I think.

I’m intrigued by Ash–I don’t read much fantasy, either, but I may have to give this a try:>)

It’s really working for me even though I never read books with fairies and fantasy elements!
