• YA books from this year that double as earworms. Sorry not sorry.

 

• Test your Baby-Sitters Club knowledge with this cover snippet quiz I put together. It’s not easy.

 

Elsewhere…

 

• If you don’t follow me on Twitter, you might not know about my 33 by 33 project. I’m hoping to see 33 classrooms from Donors Choose funded by my 33rd birthday at the end of next month. I’m posting links straight there, as well as getting ready to bring back the regular “Fund ‘Em Friday” feature on Book Riot (which took a hiatus for summer). Heidi Stevens, a columnist for The Chicago Tribune, wrote a really fabulous piece about the project this week.

 

This week over on Book Riot…

 

• A round-up of YA books about soccer.

Over on Book Riot this week…

• I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about found manuscripts and posthumously published work and sort of wrestled with those ideas in this piece.

 

• If you fall in the center of the “Loves Rabbits” and “Loves Books” Venn Diagram, I found some bookish things you might need in your life.

 

 

Over on Book Riot this week…

• After reading Gabourey Sidibe’s memoir This Is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare and discovering what a book nerd she is, I rounded up some of her reading across social media.

 

• YA authors who moonlight as *other* YA authors. For real.

 

Elsewhere…

 

• Last couple of days to drop a review of Here We Are on Amazon for the chance to win $30 to the bookstore of your choice.

 

• I wrote a post as part of the “Girls of Summer” list that Here We Are is part of, and it’s a post I really love and is really personal to me. It’s all about finding those books you connect with and holding them tight.
