It's Monday! What Are You Reading? From Picture Books to YA




[To rehash the concept :: 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. This version of the meme is hosted by Jen and Kellee of Teach Mentor Text, which, in turn, was inspired by Sheila over at Book Journey, who hosts the original It's Monday! What Are You Reading?]

WHAT I READ LAST WEEK:



All Different Now: Juneteenth, the First Day of Freedom by Angela Johnson
"What was before / would be no more."

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Feathers: Not Just for Flying by Melissa Sweet

The Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins: The Case of the Stolen Sixpence by Holly Webb

A Pond Full of Ink by Annie M. G. Schmidt
Illustrator, Sieb Posthuma, does a great job of illustrating in a very European 1970s style to match the time period the poems were originally written in the Netherlands. I always wonder about translations, and I wonder even more about translated poetry: are the names the same? Is there rhyming involved in the original poetry? It'd be interesting to learn about translator David Colmer's translating process.

Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper

WHAT I'M READING NOW:
