It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 4/2/18

I had a great weekend, the library was closed on Friday, so I got to spend a (scheduled) day off getting stuff done, which felt awesome. I also started working on a new project for my blog and am really happy with how it’s looking (more on that at a later date)! I started getting back to the gym this week and not just going to the gym and half-heartedly riding a bike while reading – I got two two-mile runs in and did some weight lifting (which I was in desperate need to get back into). Overall a great week – not a ton of reading, but enough that I feel pretty good.

I finished up Granted by John David Anderson which is completely different from his other realistic fiction middle grade titles, but I really enjoyed it more than I expected! I also read The Ambrose Deception by Emily Ecton, a scavenger hunt through Chicago which was a lot of fun to read and also read Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World by Ashley Herring Blake which was amazing – so true to a middle school experience and filled with emotion, it’s going to be a top read of 2018 for me, I can feel it. I’m hoping to get a review written up sometime this week for this one – so good.
Next up on my list includes:

• Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories by Kelly Barnhill
• The Serpent’s Secret by Sayantani Dasgupta
• A Possibility of Whales by Karen Rivers
