Here’s another irregular installment of links that have caught my attention or have otherwise been neat to see.

• Jennifer Hubbard has a list of books that deal with suicide — the topic at the center of her latest novel, Try Not to Breathe — up on her blog. It’s a sensitive topic but it’s an important one.

• Have books you need to get rid of or a pile of ARCs you want to pass on? Help out one of Blythe Woolston’s local organizations by sending them on for their EPIC library. I’ve already sent some myself, and I’ll tell you the secret to keeping it affordable: pick up a flat rate box and pack it to the gills. For sending about 20 or so books, it was under $15. Worth it for the cause.

• A few weeks back, Kelly Thompson at Comic Book Resources wrote a fantastic post about inequality in female/male representation in comics. She approaches it from a bit of a different angle, and it is well worth the read. Both the article and the comments are thought-provoking. 

• On the lighter side, I love this comic of Tolstoy discovering a bad review of Anna Karenina on GoodReads, and I’ve gotten more than a few laughs out of Least Helpful Reviews (which seems to have blown up this week — but it’s been around for a while).

• In totally self-indulgent news, Tracey Neithercott wrote up a great article in this month’s AARP magazine, and she was kind enough to give us a shout out. Thanks to her, and thanks to everyone who has stopped by to check us out! And in more self-indulgent news, I was included in an article for April’s print and digital edition of SELF magazine, talking about my treadmill desk. Check it out, if you want to — you can even see a sliver of my books in the background (of course).

Tomorrow we continue our “So You Want to Read YA?” series with our first guest post. We’re so excited about this series and we hope you’re enjoying it as much as we are!
