For readers who might not know, I’m now into my 18th week of pregnancy (almost half way there!). That means sometimes I simply forget to do things, like do these weekly roundups of my recent writing. Thus, this week’s roundup includes last week’s, too, so it’s a bit long.
- Why I still use and love using Goodreads.
- 2021 book calendars to keep you up-to-date in the new year.
- I put together the ultimate guide to book puzzles for your staying-inside winter entertainment.
- Pop these book cover posters onto your walls.
- How pregnancy books are fantasy reads right now.
- 10 small midwestern indie bookstores to support this season (all have online ordering!).
- This is a REALLY fascinating book challenge case: parents are raising concerns over some of the classics used in classrooms because of how they portray racism as an idea of the past. The majority of the parents raising the concerns are Black. Spend some time with this one because it’ll give you some pause (and for what it’s worth, I think the superintendent is being thoughtful and considerate of all sides of this).
- Last, but not least, book sweatshirts and hoodies!
