I know I haven’t updated about BEA yet, and I’m not sure yet what all I have to say about it — it was good! It was much more about the social stuff for me this year than the “getting all the things” aspect (I picked up maybe 15 books).

But I did have something else to share that sort of came out of BEA. And that’s this: you know the awesome site Book Riot, focused on readers and written by those who are readers?

I’m writing for them.

My first post is up today, and it’s all about my genre kryptonite. Anyone who has been on Stacked for a day or two knows my passion for dark realistic YA fiction, so that’s what I’m talking about.

The best part of writing for Book Riot, aside from all of the other great things, is that it’s short form, and it’s a site of readers who seek out books for reading’s sake. Which means, my tone writing over there can be a little different than it is here, and the pieces are much briefer. It’s a really nice opportunity to branch out and talk in more places about books and reading. Nothing will change at Stacked, as I love having this space and I love and appreciate everyone who stops by to read or shares what we do here.

I like to think of it as fulfilling my dedication to getting beyond the easy reach, too, which I know I’ve blogged about many times before.

When my next post goes up, I’ll link it up (because I wrote about one of my all-time favorite things that I have been thinking about a lot lately and is relevant to many a recent article across the internet), but following that, I’ll only call out posts in the biweekly link round ups on Saturdays.
