It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 10/2/17

I can’t believe it’s October! The older I get, the faster time seems to go! I’m working on trying to read more throughout the week (rather than sitting in front of the television after dinner) and this week it seemed to work!
I got a chance to read:

• Elsie May Has Something to Say by Nancy J. Cavanaugh
• Just Friends by Dyan Sheldon
• You Bring the Distant Near by Mitali Perkins

I also cracked open The Rise of the Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste and will finish it early this week. My other titles to read this week include – American Street by Ibi Aanu Zoboi, Clayton Byrd Goes Underground by Rita Williams-Garcia and if I get a chance What Girls Are Made Of by Elana K. Arnold. I’m trying to read all the titles nominated to the long list for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. Most are YA titles, but I’m enjoying the ones I’ve read so far and want to finish out the list.
