Worth Reading/Viewing
- Why Some People Become Lifelong Readers (Joe Pinsker, The Atlantic)
- Fiction for older children reviews: flying puns and dangerous games (Kitty Empire, The Guardian) This review of upcoming and recently published middle-grade novels made me want to run out immediately and read these books (and their assorted prequels or forerunners.)
Awesome Lists
- 13 Witch Books That Will Hold You Spellbound (The Portalist) The Portalist is Open Road Media’s SF/Fantasy newsletter and website, so it’s not surprising that this list is dominated by Open Road titles. (Open Road publishes primarily backlist books.) But there are some good ones among them, and the list also includes some recent books from other publishers.

lol about the googly eyes. Thanks for the links, it’s interesting why some people become lifelong readers, while others don’t read books at all.
Happy reading this week.
