I didn’t open my task keeper yesterday at all, thus today’s post is up a little later than usual because, well, I enjoyed a day of reading and marathoning Netflix. Cheers!

Here’s what’s happening on Book Riot this week…

• Your ultimate guide to Harry Potter goods at Target!

 

• The Available Reads extension hooks up your Goodreads account with your local library’s and will change your reading life.

 

• Need some book puzzles?

 

• Yes, lots of bookish goods stuff this week, as I’m deep in the midst of working on a couple of news pieces and need something lighter in between — bookish fridge magnets.

 

There’s also a brand new episode of Hey YA of reader requests! Eric and I offered book recommendations to nearly 20 listener-submitted questions and it was a blast.

Speaking of Hey YA:

 

 

You can catch Eric and I at The Book Stall in Winnetka, Illinois on February 25 at 6:30 pm for discussion of Eric’s latest book, as well as a LIVE Hey YA podcast recording. For Chicago readers in the city, it’s right off the Metra line, as well as just off the El.
