If you haven’t yet, I highly encourage reading Kimberly’s post from earlier this week. It was at once so familiar, so resonant, and also, as one commenter on Goodreads said, so cathartic. We’re all doing what we can with what we have but things are just . . . hard.

Here’s what I’ve written about over on Book Riot this week:

 

• How to help with Texas’s recovery, literary style. This is a living document, so do feel free to pass along fitting projects via the information in the post.

 

• Who Can Get Your Book? is an incredible new tool exploring accessibility of books in the digital age.

 

• If you love typewriters, here’s a roundup of typewriter goods you can snag.

 

• This research is so fascinating and, I think, something vital for anyone working with books and readers should think about: Black, Latinx, and Millennial readers are keeping the book industry afloat.

 

• Last, but not least, YA books with 19-year-old characters.

 

 

And my last Hey YA Extra Credit before maternity leave is up, too: get to know this year’s YA Summer Scares picks.
