dolorosa_12Ambelin Kwaymullina talks about diversity in Australian YA literature.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: 'Fear of causing offense becomes a fetish'.

Laura Mixon talks about building bridges and healing divisions.
Rochita Loenen-Ruiz talks about self-care and 'staying in touch with the child-self'.
Aidan Moher discusses writing military SF without combat.
Astrid Lindgren's Second World War diaries have been published in Sweden.
Ana of Things Mean A Lot reviews Pride in the light of the recent UK elections.
I love this review by Electra Pritchett of Stranger and Hostage by Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith:
If I had to pick a post-apocalyptic YA society in which to live, I'd pick the community of Las Anclas hands down, warts and all: rather than a hierarchical dystopian society where something random is outlawed and the government controls something else crucial to society, Las Anclas represents a kinder, gentler post-apocalypse. It's not quite a utopia, except in the sense that everywhere in fiction is, but that's precisely what makes it a believable and desirable place to live: its busybodies and jerks are notable because they're not the only kind of people in the town, and dealing with them would be a small price to pay in order to live in such a supportive and inclusive place.
The upcoming publishing schedule at The Book Smugglers makes me so happy.
I am really looking forward to the publication of Tell The Wind And Fire, Sarah Rees Brennan's latest book.
Via Sherwood Smith, listen to the oldest (recorded) song in the world.
Happy Friday, everyone!
