Christina Makes the Bookish Rounds is a feature that will let you know about recent MG/YA/NA book related news. I'll post about articles from the publishing industry, cover reveals, discussions from fellow bloggers, the latest tv/movie news, and giveaways that you're hosting. If you would like to follow along with cover reveals during the week, see my Pinterest.
Publishing:
Rights Report:
Kristin Bailey's THE SILVER GATE, the epic journey of a young boy and his developmentally disabled sister as they search for the realm of the Fairy Queen in order to find safe haven in a medieval world that holds nothing but danger, to Katherine Tegen Books for publication in beginning fall 2016.
None from last week have since been posted.
Authors: The Forgotten Sisters (Princess Academy) - Shannon Hale, Red Queen - Victoria Aveyard, Kelly Link / Cassandra Clare / Holly Black, Rainbow Rowell part I and II. Christopher Paolini with Karen Bao. Amanda Hocking.
Book Trailers: No Safety in Numbers - Dayna Lorentz, the Tapper Twins Go to War with Each Other, Wish - Matthew Cordell, Keepers of the Labyrinth - Erin Moulton
Excerpts: Curious about Penguin’s main titles for Summer 2015? Sample them. You can also read an excerpt of Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows here.
Awards: The Andre Norton nominees were announced, including Glory O’Brien’s History of the Future and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows and Ava Lavender. So were the 2015 Pannell Award nominees (focused on bookstores). And the Bologna Children’s book fair winners. The CCBC announced its award finalists too. The Kids Indie Next list for Spring 2015 was also released.
New Alice in Wonderland illustrations o.O. So pretty! Perfect for book plates.
I’m trying to keep up with We Need Diverse Books. I posted about Malinda Lo’s discussion of book reviews on diverse books last week, but now she’s compiled them into one full post for y’all. I’m also reposting the CCBC book stats from last week because that’s kind of depressing. And because editors, illustrators, and authors need to continue the chat on diversity. Especially if we want the CCBC stats to shift toward diversity. Also remember Diversity League, the ALA Midwinter panel? You can now WATCH the panel here. If you are a writer of color looking for resources, here is a good list.
Good news for Egmont USA authors: Lerner has acquired about 100 of the titles.

Discussion / Other Blogger Posts:
Remember that post from a while back on Hermione Granger and the Goddamn Patriarchy? Well that’s now been made into a video.
Look at beautiful library architecture and decide what you think they’re trying to tell us.
11 Crazy Plot Twists You Never Saw Coming. Okay, now I really want to read all those novels… I mean, some of them have been on my list for years, but to make a list about plot twists and people agree they’re not cheap but thrilling? Interesting.
Whaaat. An interactive site with an iPod-inspired circle wheel for books? How to sell books in the digital age.
How reading helped Kelly Jensen (Blogger at Book Riot & Stacked Books) overcome depression.
If you’re looking for some YA novels that deal with tough topics like death, here are seven recommendations.
If you like YA novels that have an epistolary format, here are some recommendations.
If you’re a fan of YA novels set in Hollywood, moar recommendations!
And if you saw the Duff and are a newly minted fan, your last set of recommendations.
Bookish instagram accounts to follow. Hahaha, did not know there was an account taking pictures of hot boys reading.
Chuck Wendig tackles the question of why adults read YA. So does the Guardian. And Laurie Halse Anderson urges more adults to do so.
Interesting topic from Chuck Wendig: how sometimes labeling a character as “a strong female character” doesn’t always pass the bar.
Heh, would you follow this advice on how to land a date from YA novels?
And aw, 12 YA quotes that perfectly express the teen condition. I did love that quote from Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
Some fairy tales are different from what you’d expect. No more Prince Charming.
The Epic Reads team = my heroes. Look at this beautiful history of YA lit.
What are the pros and cons of publishing at an early age?
What do you do when you can’t find a bookmark? Me, I use a tissue.
I like the idea of this list: 22 Books Women Recommend Men Should Read. (“Why is it that we don’t think men should read books by and about women? In a canon and culture flooded with the perspectives and stories of men, men have no difficulty finding books that reaffirm their self-images and explore their masculinity. Why aren’t we encouraging men to also read great books that widen their horizons and show them life through the eyes of people unlike them?”) And while you’re at it, maybe you could also give them the books you’d slip to your best friend...
The most romantic quotes in literature… include some from Winnie the Pooh and Hamlet, apparently.
How long would it take to read all the books published in a week? Hahahahahaha okay, seriously we will never be able to read our entire TBR, I guess.
To cheer you up after that depressing fact, look at this pretty all-white bookstore.
Which of these books publishing in March are you most anticipating?

I need to turn in reviews to publishers. Yikes. Catch up, Christina!
I also sometimes think that hey, after four years of blogging, I'll have figured things out. Nope.
