Lots of links for a snowy day.
- Pulitzer and National Book Award winning books mapped by setting. I’d love to see this for Printz and Newbery winners!
- Literature in Lego.
- I was never a great skater, but I sure do love it. Gotta check out these skating YA reads!
- A behind-the-scenes look at YALSA’s Outstanding Books for the College Bound committee.
- Recently finished A.S. King’s Ask the Passengers, so I was super excited to see this great interview with her.
- A look at the literary journal slush pile–very much in line with what I experienced working on Redivider back in the day.
- Responding to “why that book?” and inevitable award backlash.
- Authors share the books they’d give to their 10-year-old selves.
- In movies, everyone’s an architect. (My pet peeve: YA novels in which characters have super hip jobs. Where were these magical clothing stores/hip coffee shops/etc when I was a teen?)
- Everyone loves libraries and we should support them.
- Save the comma! Save pants!
Not gonna lie, when you said “skating YA reads,” I thought of skate-boarding! My first reaction was “Wow!! Annie is so cool!” 🙂
Haha! Oh my gosh, I am SO not coordinated enough for skateboarding. 😛
LOVE the books mapped by setting!!
