I got on a roll this week in terms of writing for Book Riot. Here’s what went up:
- This week’s “3 on a YA theme” ended up being more like 11 on a YA theme because I wanted to talk about intersectional feminism in YA. So, here are 11 YA books that showcase intersectionality.
- Did you know Ann M. Martin celebrated her 60th birthday this week? I didn’t realize it when I sat down to write this piece, but that worked out pretty nicely. Here’s a look at why the Baby-Sitters Club meant so much to me as a kid.
As of yesterday afternoon, there have been 770 copies of Some Girls Are (and What Goes Around, the bind-up) donated. I’m going to write more about this process after I ship these down to Andria in Charleston next week, but it’s been phenomenal. Thank you.
I’ve been asked numerous times if there’s a way to donate money to help cover the cost of shipping. I am happy to accept donations for this, if you so choose. I’ll take them through paypal only, and the email you can use to send a donation is [redacted]. Thank you in advance for anyone who is doing that, too — this all means a lot, and I’m so overwhelmed with your generosity. These teens are going to know how much their lives and stories matter.
