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.
My reading streak continues. This week is more heavily skewed towards nonfiction. Several of them I plan to revisit during Women’s History Month but wanted to make sure they were on your radar.
