Monday Matters #82: What I’m Reading, What’s Publishing This Week, Screen Adaptations and More!

Hi everyone and welcome to Monday Matters #82. 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! What Are You Reading? hosted by The Book Date which is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. Let’s go!
