It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is a weekly blog hop hosted by Kellee and Ricki of 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 state testing week, number 1, and I won’t be reading much this week besides the scripts for the tests. But…I’ll gather grand poetry titles and other enjoyable reading materials so that when we are done with standardized enterprises, we can once again have some fun with reading and writing before summer break.

Physical Books: I received this in the mail – thank you Scholastic and Erin Soderberg Downing! What Happened Then sounds like an on-point title for fourth quarter of the school year. I cannot wait to dig in. (Publishes September 2, 2025)

Libro.fm: I’m still listening to Rebellion, 1776. So timely! So wonderful! So needed! I wish our current government officials would read.

NetGalley: Legendary Frybread Drive-In: Intertribal Stories, edited by Cynthia Leitich Smith, is a collection of short stories that imagine “regulars at the drive-in, who might mosey down well-worn paths to its tall neon sign.” I’ll say more about this one soon. I just started. By the way, don’t you just LOVE this cover? (Publishes August 26, 2025)
