It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - June 5, 2017

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus.

This post is for sharing what I read last week, what I am currently reading, and what I plan to read.

What I Read Last Week

This weekend was jam packed with BookCon. I really enjoyed the panels and scored some awesome ARCs. My most prized book being One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake. One of my fellow WLABBers, Kiersten, went to BEA, and was quite successful. I now have almost all the books from my last TTT thanks to her *YEAH!* As a matter of fact, when she met with Swoon Reads, they actually brought a copy of Kissing Max Holden by Katy Upperman just for me after seeing my TTT! I was so touched.

I did NOT read a ton of books, as I knew I wouldn't, but it was still a good reading week. Wonder was by far my favorite read of the week. It was so touching and beautiful. If you have not read this book, read it now!

• Wonder by R.J. Palacio - ★★★★★
• He's So Fine by Jill Shalvis - ★★★★
• Witchtown by Cory Putman Oakes - ★★★ 1/2
• The Bakersville Dozen by Kristina McBride - ★★★★

What I Am Currently Reading

My library loan FINALLY came up for The Hating Game, and so far, it's quite fun. I am enjoying this love/hate relationship. I am also listening to another Lucky Harbor book, and this one is set with the same "friend group" as the last two, and, as always, it's making me happy.

• The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
• One in a Million by Jill Shalvis

What I Plan to Read

I am working through some of my July ARCs. I was really looking forward to Aftercare Instructions  so I hope it meets my expectations. I am also working on Diverse Books Reading Challenge. This months mini challenge is to read a book that focuses on sexuality/gender identity. I selected Gracefully Grayson, because it is about a trans girl's journey and also has tons of glowing reviews.

• Aftercare Instructions by Bonnie Pipkin
• The Waking Land by Callie Bates
• Amid Stars and Darkness by Chani Lynn Feener
• Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky
