IMWAYR: Celebrations!

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.

Head over to Unleashing Readers to join the link-up and share your reading!

This is a special week! May 5th is not only Cinco de Mayo, it’s my new granddaughter’s 6-month birthday! She’s been around for a half a year already! I cannot believe it! There are many other events coming up tomorrow and through the next few days. “Cel-e-bra-tion Time, Come On!” (Sing it!)

Happy Book Birthday to The Brainstormerz: Money Talks! Kwame Alexander can write anything, but with Cassidy Dyce, another author extraordinaire, and art by Rashad Doucet, the trio sparks a new fire with book one of a series about three best friends who are smart, funny problem-solvers. In Money Talks, the “brainstormerz” have to figure out a way to help Lex get a new phone (he’s turning ten!) – not just any phone, but the Apollo XL, which is way out of the parents’ price range, even for a birthday present. Can the friends figure out a way to raise the money themselves?

Libro.fm: I finished The Unlikely Tale of Chase and Finnegan by Jasmine Warga (read by Michael Crouch, who is one of my favorite narrators) and The Second Life of of Snap by Erin Entrada Kelly (read by Ferdelle Capistrano – another fabulous narrator). Now I’m listening to another adult title that I’m loving. I had a lot of time to listen this week, driving back and forth to see my mom.

NetGalley: Someone is going to have to start lecturing me about how I leave NetGalley until last every month. I do feel badly, but at least I’m still reading otherwise, right? I loved Sashimi and the Field Trip of Doom by Dan Santat (a new must-read series).

It’s Monday! What are YOU reading?
