It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Sheila of Book Journey. Jen from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee from Unleashing Readers have adapted it to focus on Picture Books to Young Adult Books.
This is going to be an unusual "What are you reading?" Last week was a bit insane for me. I had several evening meetings and was super busy prepping for a training that I organized at work and a presentation that I did for the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association (SCIBA) so even though I was around books and reading I did not have much time to actually read.
However, while at the SCIBA event, I did pick up a number of 2014 Advanced Readers. Here are some Middle Grade and YA titles that came highly recommend that you might want to add to your TBR pile for the first quarter of 2014.
