The Monster Report

February 11, 2012 by Kate 1 Comment

Welcome to another edition of the Monster Report. The Monster Report explores the book happenings of Kate and Kristen. Whether it be what we got in our mailboxes, what books we are currently hiding in, or fun stuff to look forward to this week at The Book Monsters, you can find it here. The Monster Report is a spin off of my old Shelf Report, and is inspired by Kristi's In My Mailbox and Sheila's It's Monday, What are you Reading?

I've started my YA literature class for my Masters Program, so I'll be reading a bit more variety as I cover a list that ranges in genres, award lists, and also needs to include some multicultural and physical diversity. I'm really excited for this class and the books that I'm reading!

Goodreads Group update!

Our group read for this month is Fracture by Megan Miranda. To participate in the discussion, click here.

That is all for us this week. So until next week, stay scary Monsters.

Kate is the co-blog owner of The Book Monsters. I am a twenty-something year old who is passionate about reading. I currently hold a B.A. in English and am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two (cat) children, Gracie and Kit, who are total divas. I have an insane and possibly unhealthy passion for reading. You can usually find me with my nose buried in a book.
