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.

Currently reading with my ears….
Daisy Jones & The Six Written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Narrated by Jennifer Beals, Benjamin Bratt, Judy Greer & Pablo Schreiber (Random House Audio, 2019) - In 2020, I have a “must read” list of adult titles that I would like to read. This is one of them that came highly recommended. I just started it as an audiobook.
So, what are you reading?
