Happy Sunday and December first! I don’t know about you, but after NaNoWriMo and Thanksgiving guests, I’m ready for a lazy day. If you are too and you want to spend some of the time on the Internet, here are some of my new favorite bookish links:
- Myths about girls in YA fiction.
- Many people are upset about the way Catching Fire has been marketed (i.e. all the Capitol-like advertisements, nail polishes, crazy false eyelashes, etc.). The author Suzanne Collins gives her thoughts on the film’s marketing strategy.
- Quiz to find out which literary character you are.
- How to write your first book.
- Similarities between JFK and Jay Gatsby.
- Giveaway on one of my favorite blogs.
- Gifts for adults who love Young Adult books.
- A quieter strategy for approaching the holidays.
- Robert McCrum weighs in on how the Guardian picks its 100 best novels list.
- My new favorite past time is reading Cup of Jo blogger, Joanna Goddard’s old posts on the Smitten blog for Glamour magazine. Here’s a good collection of them.

Thanks for the links. I’m catching up on my blog reading. The Thanksgiving weekend was pretty busy.
Totally understand. I’m in the same boat! Loved your post on the holidays.
