Monday Matters #93: What I’m Reading, What’s Publishing, Screen Adaptations and More!

Hi everyone and welcome to Monday Matters #93! Most of us hate to see Monday come, but I’m one for making it a bit more fun.

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!
