It's Monday! What are you reading? July 22, 2019

A great meme hosted by Jen at Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee at Unleashing Readers. A place for people to talk about books they have recently read and are currently reading. Also a great place to find books to add to your "must read" list.

Here is what I have recently read (click on the title to learn more about the book):
By Tara Westover
I'm not a huge fan of this phrase, but this one definitely had "all the feels"! I cried, I laughed, I was shocked, I was enraged, and I couldn't put it down once I got into it! Go find yourself a copy today!

By Jasmine Warga
A really important story that should be in all MG classrooms. A bit too old for my 4th grade classroom, but I would say appropriate for grades 6 and up.

By Katherine Applegate
Katherine Applegate is one of my heart authors, so of course I had to read her newest series! The first book, The Last, came out last year and The First came out in May (and no, I didn't mix up the titles!). Applegate has created quite a world for the main character Byx, a dairne who is afraid that she is the last of her kind. I was happy to rejoin Byx and her friends as they continued on their quest to find more dairnes.

Still really enjoying the audio version of this one!

By Chris Rylander
Just starting this one, but I have heard good things!

    I love Applegate too, but haven't started on the Endling series yet. I need to! Other Words for Home also looks fantastic. Have a great reading week!

    I've read and enjoyed all that you shared & was sometimes Enraged, too, in Educated. I love the Endling books! The ones you're currently reading are new, so thanks for those titles!

    I'm excited to see that you are reading Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow. I just discovered that the third one is going to be published next year. I finished Other Words For Home a couple of weeks ago. I'm always amazed by what grade four kids read. I figure if they will read The Hunger Game with their parent's consent, a book like that is fine. In the library, I might warn them about a book, but usually, if I say I wouldn't want my 9 year old to read a book, it's good.

    I have read the first in the Endling and Wundersmith series but haven't caught up with the sequels yet. I might check out the Chris Rylander book as the title is pretty funny. Thanks for all the shares!

    I absolutely ADORE the Nevermoor world so I'm tickled every time I hear of others who are into it. I even liked Wundersmith more than the first book. Book #3 can't be published soon enough! I also enjoyed Other Words for Home and I have Educated and The First (Endling #2) on my TBR list. Thanks for all the shares!
