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

My reading skewed older this week, but perhaps it was because I needed a dose of something different: Monstrous Affections reminded me yet again that I should be reading more short stories; I'm continuing to enjoy the storyline in Wandering Son as friendships change and romantic feelings are revealed; the diversity of the main characters in Under a Painted Sky is refreshing; and I'm going full steam ahead on Vango. Pretty good stuff this week!

[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?]
