It's the last Monday in January but I'm hoping to get back into posting my weekly reads. The reason I haven't been posting recently is because I got a job in early October and I just haven't had the time to blog.
It may not be every week, but my aim is to not abandon this project entirely. So, here goes for what I've read since the beginning of 2016 ...
[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?]
