Before I go into this week’s round-up of posts at Book Riot, can I share an exciting thing? It’s this:

The galleys of my anthology showed up! I’m so thrilled with how the book looks and am eager for more people to read it. Putting it together felt like keeping so many delicious secrets, and it’s nice knowing how much of a surprise readers are in for, both from the standpoint of what the book says and what it looks like. Algonquin killed it in the design department and I could not be happier.

Do note: if you have a galley or acquire one, there are a few tiny errors. They will be fixed for the final edition (there is one half sentence in one of the pieces that was removed in an earlier draft that hung on in the galley, for example, as well as a few tiny tweaks elsewhere).

Early and finished copies will not be coming with the above pictured rabbit, who proceeded to take a nice sized bite out of the spine.

 

 

Over on Book Riot this week…

• Three YA books where technology perhaps goes too far . . . and since these are backlist titles, what I wonder is: are these things more real now than they were 5 or more years ago?

 

• A big, huge round-up of nonfiction about girls and women, famous and not, perfect for tween and teen readers. I loved putting this together, as it came from an email request.
