TELL ME TUESDAY #242 - Last. Now. Next. - March Reading Wrap-Up

LAST. NOW. NEXT.
NUMBER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO
MARCH READING WRAP-UP

TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, what you will be reading next from your tbr pile, and why. I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!


Joining us this week...
Jolene from JO'S BOOK BLOG
Kwante from KWANTE IN WONDERLAND
Stop by and have a look at their latest grabs and tell them yours!

LAST WEEK'S TMT

This was my first KONDO MY KINDLE purge.

★★★★
This was a wonderful read for Women's History Month!



GRAPHIC MEMOIR
GENDER IDENTITY
Hoopla - published September 2014
For Diversity Month I am trying to read all autism and LGBTQ+ related books. This story has already had a big continuity problem. She said at four she had a temper tantrum about hating dresses, and never wore a dress again, but later on she talks about wearing her favorite purple dress to a birthday party. Did she mean she was never forced to wear a dress again? That needed to be specified.

MEMOIR
Published February 5th - Netgalley
This is my current ARC. I need to start catching up with my review books!


YOUNG ADULT
STANDALONE
SCIFI/DYSTOPIC
AUTISM
Published March 2016 - Owned
Finally a SciFi book for the DANCING WITH SCIFI AND FANTASY READING CHALLENGE which also fits my monthly blog theme!

MIDDLE GRADE?
STANDALONE
CONTEMPORARY
ISSUE RELATEED
LGBTQ+
Publishes April 5th - NetGalley
This will be my next ARC and it also fits my monthly blog theme. I have a question mark after Middle Grade because even though it's being marketed as MG the MC is thirteen and there is at least some sexual tension and you all know how I feel about that in MG. Middle Grade readership is 7- 11/12 years old which is elementary school age.
