IMWAYR is a weekly blog hop with kid lit co-hosts Jennifer from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee and Ricki from Unleashing Readers. The original IMWAYR, with an adult literature focus, was started by Sheila at Book Journeys and is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. It’s a great way to share what you’re reading and get recommendations from others. We encourage you to write your own post sharing what you’re reading, link up, leave a comment, and support other IMWAYR bloggers by visiting and commenting on at least three of the other linked blogs each week.

It’s Banned Books Week, and I’m not celebrating; I’m writing to state officials and school boards on behalf of my students and my granddaughter. I believe that children (and adults!) should be able to read whatever they want. There are so many actions AGAINST reading right now, it makes me angry. (I’ll have another post this week on banned and challenged books/censorship.)
Here’s what I’m reading and sharing this week. I hope you have a great week of reading, too!


It’s Monday! What are YOU reading?
