Over on Book Riot this week…

There’s a new episode of Hey YA this week, too, digging into new reading habits for 2020, as well as offering up YA book ideas for this year’s Read Harder challenge. Whether or not you’re doing the official challenge, we’ve got so many book recommendations across so many genres.

• A new piece of legislation in Missouri could make censorship of public library materials easier.
