It's Monday! What are you reading? From Picture Books to YA

My twitter friend Alyson (from Kid Lit Frenzy) has been posting weekly about what she reads to the It's Monday! What Are You Reading? From Picture Books to YA meme, hosted by Jen and Kellee of Teach Mentor Text. Their meme was inspired by Sheila over at Book Journey, who hosts the original It's Monday! What Are You Reading? meme.

The point of the meme is simple :: post what you read last week, what you're reading now, and what you plan to read this week. If you have a review of the book(s), great! If you have a picture of the book(s), wonderful! If you have a book giveaway, fantastic! If you just list the title(s) of the book(s), not a problem! Make it as simple or as complex as you need it to be. At least, that's the message I got.

So, for my first week, I think I'll keep it simple and list my recent reads. I'm having a hard time guesstimating how many books I'll actually be able to read this coming week (I feel in my bones it's not going to be a high number; I go through phases/waves of reading voraciousness, and I'm at a low-point right now).
