Lots of good links for today:
- Just try not to get all the feels reading through this list of things that happened after Harry Potter. Also, lots of awesome fan art!
- And speaking of Harry Potter, here’s an interview with the artist behind the new covers. I’ve loved seeing the new releases.
- Challenge yourself to read all the of the NPR top 100 sci-fi and fantasy books. (Confession: I saw Watership Down on this list and thought “Wait, why is this listed? That’s not fantasy.” Rabbit society is totally real, guys.)
- And speaking of NPR, check out their top 100 books for kids 9-14. Try not to read through and say “I loved that one! And that one! Aw, and that one!”
- Fighting librarian stereotypes with Legos.
- We totally need more YA womances.
- You don’t have to be “the next JK Rowling” to have a seriously awesome debut novel.
- Love the simplicity of this poem.
- I want to read/reread all of these great kid lit end-of-summer reading suggestions.
- When TV and books intersect, it’s cool to read.
- Such an interesting look at the design of Lolita covers and what that means for readers/our society. Might have to make this my next “major literary works” read.
- The Scholastic Book Club revamped as the Scholastic Reading Club, brings back flood of elementary school fangirl memories.
- Great guide to YA novels with LGBTQ characters, including my current read, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
