This Week at Book Riot & Around The Web

 

What a week, y’all. I’ve been fighting off a cold and trying to both nurse that and not fall down into full-on sickness because I’ve got so much I need to get done. But that said, I managed to get quite a bit of writing done and tackle the to-do (including writing and scheduling out a ton of posts here!). Over on Book Riot this week…

 

A round-up of middle grade and young adult books by/about/set in the countries impacted by the president’s travel ban.

 

30 pairs of excellent bookish earrings.

 

This week’s “3 On A YA Theme” explored YA books with bipolar disorder (which are well-done).

 

Elsewhere around the web:

 

At The Book Smugglers, I wrote about my influences and inspirations behind Here We Are, and there’s a giveaway of a finished copy to US residents. There’s a comment that I absolutely love down there, about how this helped a reader better understand where I’m coming from in the other venues where I write. That was really nice to hear.

 

The New York Public Library called Here We Are one of the hottest YA books of 2017 so far.

 

Foreward Reviews interviewed me about Here We Are. 

 

If you’re in the Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, Tucson, New York City, Providence, Manchester (VT), Rhinebeck, Austin, or San Antonio areas, you should come see me and fellow contributors!
