It's a new week and time for the weekly Monday post! "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?" is a weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. It gives bloggers a chance to share with they have been reading and what they plan to read next.
It's a new month! Happy May! Only 16 more days of school left for the kids.
Here is what I am currently reading:
What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi is a book of short stories. I've only read the first 2 so far, and, while I prefer longer form fiction, they have both been very interesting.
I am listening to The Memory of Light by Francisco X. Stork, read by Frankie Corzo. After Vicki's suicide attempt, she finds herself in a state mental hospital. There she makes friends and tries to understand what drove her to try to commit suicide and how to get well.
I am also reading Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli. This is my first Spinelli. It won the Newbery Medal back in 1991, so it seemed like a good place to start.
And that is what I'm currently reading. Up next, I have a few books.

My It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
So many good books here! I loved Maniac Magee, even though I read it as an adult. Modern folklore, just so well done.
ReplyDeleteI am getting behind in my Lisa Lutz reading. I still have her last fun one, and now this serious one. Have you read her Heads You Lose book?
I hope you enjoy What's Yours Is Not Yours -- I've heard lots of raves!
