Two YA Adaptations Getting Second Seasons: Your YA Book News and New Books, January 20, 2022

Hey YA Pals!

Let’s dive into this week’s YA book news and new books. Like we’ve seen so far this month, it’ll be heavier on new books than on news.

YA Book News

Make sure to get your own Read Harder Book Journal from Book Riot to track your reading for the year!

New YA Books

Please note that with supply chain issues, paper supply challenges, and the pandemic more broadly, publication dates are changing at a pace I can’t keep up with. Some release dates may be pushed back. If a book catches your attention, the smartest thing to do right now is to preorder it or request it from your library. It’ll be a fun surprise when it arrives.

Image of an enamel pin on a pink background. The pin has seven book spines in a rainbow of colors. The text on the pin reads "book collector."

I love this book collector enamel pin so much. $10.


Thanks for hanging out, and we’ll see you with some deals on Saturday.

Until then, happy reading!
