Monday Matters #72: Reading, Adaptations and More! #imwayr

Hi everyone and welcome to Monday Matters #72! Most of us hate to see Monday come, but I’m one for making it a bit more fun. Each week I take a look at new book releases, books on TV or film, recent author interviews and more! Life’s too short to hate Mondays so let’s start the week off right! I’m also joining It’s Monday!
