Over on Book Riot this week…

• 20 pictures of black cats with books because sometimes, you need to round up pictures of cats and books.

 

• A round-up of YA poetry collections.

 

• Why the male savior narrative in YA has got to go.

 

• Great literary gifts for teachers.

 

• A new episode of Hey YA! hit speakers this week. Eric and I talk about older YA protagonists (and y’all, there’s a trend coming), the “best of” lists as of the recording date, and some great YA online serial publications to know about.

 

 

I am beyond excited to share that School Library Journal named Here We Are: Feminism For The Real World one of their best books of 2017. Not only is that awesome (!!!) but they have a whole section of nonfiction “best of” titles. So. Damn. Cool.
