Links help us through Tuesday:

• Forget book-shaming.
• Even though last week I had to stop hating Amy, I can still get on board with loathing some of these characters who are not technically villains but are still hate-worthy.
• How booksellers plan their inventory, aka returns are my new nightmare.
• Sad to lose Bernard Waber; I remember being seven, reading Ira Sleeps Over and thinking “Yes, that’s just what it’s like.”
• How to survive BEA. (Hint: comfy shoes are key!)
• And if you’re in tired of the BEA events, SLJ has some suggestions for more general New York fun.
• I want to see a yarn bomb!
• Virginia Woolf sounds pretty much like I thought she would, which makes me unreasonably happy.
• Thoughtful response to Maureen Johnson’s call for cover flips.
• Guys. You can bid for first editions of novels with personal annotations from their authors. Like JK Rowling. GUYS.
