#31: Pterodactly Boyfriend, Again Hey YA

Eric and Kelly talk about the Goodreads Choice awards in YA (and the lack of nonfiction for young readers), this year’s Best Of lists so far, and highlight funny YA books and what it is that makes for good humor.
Sponsored by Book Riot Insiders, Roar and the Magnetic Collection at Lion Forge, and Easy Prey by Catherine Lo from Amulet Books and PiqueBeyond.
Hey YA is available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and right here on Book Riot.
