Hot off the Press – November 27, 2017

November 27, 2017

Hot off the Press — Stay up to date with weekly YA releases | wordrevel.comWeek after week, the YA releases are dwindling. Like last week, there are only four new ones I rounded up.

November 20, 2017

Hot off the Press — Stay up to date with weekly YA releases | wordrevel.comFour new YA releases and a handful of reissued paperbacks. I don’t know much about the new books hot off the press this week. Although, I did see on Goodreads that Miguel and Joey reviewed The Temptation of Adam by Dave Connie favourably. Maybe their thoughts will help you decide if you want to pick it up too.

Bookstagram 101: Burn Candles, Not Books — Why Burning Books for Likes Isn’t Cool

November 19, 2017

Bookstagram 101: Burn Candles, Not Books — Why burning books of likes isn't coolEvery time I come across a photo on Instagram with books on fire, a part of my soul dies. To be clear, it’s not the same as when I cringe at dogeared pages, cry at tea spilled on a book or broken spines. It goes beyond that. Burning books isn’t simply about what one does with their personal belongings — it’s about the symbolism behind it, the historical and cultural implications, and so much more.
