Writing STACKED is such a joy, but I won’t lie: this break has meant a significant amount of work has been done on a novel I’m toying with. I will be so fired up to blog when August rolls around, of course, but in the meantime, here’s what else I’ve written lately:

• You’ll want every one of these awesome YA book necklaces.

 

• I recently updated my list of books like The Hate U Give, so I’ll reshare it for those looking either for themselves or young readers.

 

There’s also a new Hey YA: Extra Credit podcast episode. I talked with YA author Tom Ryan about Norma Klein’s Breaking Up, which was a wonderful surprise of a book.
