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.
I’ve been away from my computer, working, traveling, and taking care of myself. I’m back for end-of-the-year sharing of my reading — there are some excellent titles out there now that you won’t want to miss! Check these out!
Two books you must read if you haven’t yet in 2023: Secret of the Moon Conch by David Bowles and Guadalupe Garcia McCall and Iveliz Explains It All by Andrea Beatriz Arango. Both of these books have fierce, brave protagonists and both have beautiful writing.
I was lucky enough to walk by the Feiwel and Friends booth on the last day of the NCTE convention and picked up Olivetti by Allie Millington (due March 26, 2024). The main character is a typewriter! And this typewriter KNOWS things about the family that owned it before “the everything that happened.” Oh, I cannot tell you any more! Just read it. This middle-grade title is sure to be a hit in the spring.
It’s Monday! What are YOU reading?

I’m reading Elly Swartz’s HIDDEN TRUTHS, an amazing new MG and listening to Barbra’s new memoir which is 48 hours and I have less than 3 hours left. Both are excellent.
