Over on Book Riot this week…

• Through the end of 2015, I’m highlighting 3 YA novels that came out this year and flew a bit below the radar. They’re all going to be written by women, too, to coincide with this month’s #ReadWomen project. Here is the first round-up.

 

• I took control of this week’s “Buy, Borrow, Bypass” feature, reviewing three YA novels that were compared to Gillian Flynn/Gone Girl this year. I was really excited by a couple of these as solid read alikes for a YA set.

 

• And here’s a look at the world of YA news from November, including recent film deals and more.

 

I also had a piece hit School Library Journal late last week. I’m talking about whether or not we honor girls’ stories and when we do, if it’s because there’s a double standard for them in YA.
