It's Monday - March 31st
Once again, it's been a few weeks since I stopped by (so this is NOT a single week of reading!) The Slice of Life challenge kept me hopping.


Since Last IMWAYR...
Batty About Books!

#MustRead
This comes out in July, and is another great one by John David Anderson! Not quite as much action as the first, but I still love his voice and the deeper messages in the "super" genre.
Wow! How had I NOT read this one before? Seriously, it is great! A wall that transports the kids through space and time... it's a fabulous adventure.
Good but not amazing science fiction tale here. My favorite character died too soon, and the back talks about the "romance" sub plot that wasn't very good.
Audiobooks
NOT my usual thing. Several of you laughed along at my updates on FB and Goodreads along the way. Carter gave me serious anxiety about my boys heading to high school (well, not SOON.. but still). He won me over by the end.
This was amazing, and the narrator was fabulous! Great diverse lit read for high schoolers, with a powerful message about friendship, bullying, and how we can so easily lose great minds to bad situations.
Other Young Adult
LOVE THIS SERIES! I forgot to put Scarlet on my "must read" list, but both Cinder and Cress are on it... so of course I read this one.

Middle Grade Novels
I was excited to get my hands on this one, but not super enthralled. It's a good starter science fiction, but parts felt forced and it didn't really hold my attention.
This, however, was adorable. I got it at ALA completely for the title (find out why, below if you are intrigued....) but thought it was just so cute.

He called her "cupcake" all winter break. They are "cupcake cousins". |
Finally - I did a bunch of reading to get ready for my Dinosaur Day event with Cub Scouts. I also did some other fun picture book fiction and nonfiction reading over the past month.

Happy reading!
