It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. Kellee Moye, of Unleashing Readers, and Jen Vincent of Teach Mentor Texts decided to give It's Monday! What Are You Reading? a kid lit focus. We encourage everyone who participates to visit at least three of the other kid lit book bloggers that link up and leave comments for them.

On Saturday, March 4th, I went shoe shopping. It is always a stressful activity for me. I have feet issues and need comfortable shoes but also want something that looks good. When I got home that night, I added about 75+ books to my account at the public library. It was great to off-set the stress by doing something I love. I went through my list of books I wanted to read and requested 2016 titles that I had missed, and books from lists that I had been seeing on Facebook and the internet. Over the two weeks, I have read 63 picture books and requested more titles as I returned several bags of books. I am going to mention some of the books later this week in a nonfiction post and a few more in my #Road2Reading post tomorrow.

All of the books listed below are ones that are worth picking up and checking out...

This photo is of the first two bags of picture books that I picked up from the library since the beginning of March. I have picked up two more since then. To see all that I have been reading, check out my GoodReads page.
