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


It appears that I'm reading for African-American History Month, but it was a bit coincidental that many of the books I put on hold at the library fit the month. You might've also noticed that I'm on a bit of a Christian Robinson kick. The man's artistic style is adorable; simple but still has dimension and depth to it.

I liked a lot of this week's books, but This Book Just Ate My Dog! by Richard Byrne made me laugh out loud in the bookstore. Just sayin'.

[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?]
