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 hard to believe that it’s the end of September! The month just started! I’ve been reading more slowly this past week, trying to savor the scenes of the books and imagine the worlds that the characters live in. Reading has been an escape from real life and that renews my strength.
Physical Books: The Last Resort by Erin Entrada Kelly is a must-read fall favorite for fans of suspenseful, scary-ish, paranormal plotlines. Lila and her family must travel from Arizona to Ohio for Grandpa Clem’s funeral. Dad needs to settle affairs, which includes arranging the funeral and taking care of the inheritance — Castle Hill Inn. The mansion hasn’t housed guests for years, and Dad doesn’t know what they would even do with it, since they live so far away. Lila doesn’t want to go – she wants to stay home with her friends, Lexi and Ava (the three of them are the Neapolitans, named after their hair colors). I’ll bet you can guess. Yep. The old, creepy inn is haunted, and Grandpa Clem did NOT die of natural causes! The published book has QR codes so you can talk to ghosts, just like Lila. This is a really fun book that your middle school students will love.
Libro.fm: I’m almost at the end of Return to Sender. Honestly, I’m going to have to listen to some parts again. It’s a good story – I wish I had a physical copy so I could read along with the audio.
NetGalley: You will be proud of me; I’m actually reading a book on NetGalley during my lunchtime and I’m glad I saw Kwame Mbalia at the National Book Festival to learn more about Jax Freeman and the Tournament of Spirits. (I love Jax’s grandma!)
