[…] New Adult Resources […]
Thanks for putting this up for those of us who couldn’t attend!
[…] Monday I went in early again, for the “New Adult: What is it, and Is it Really Happening?” session, done by Liz Burns, Sophie Brookover, and Kelly Jensen. I really enjoy all three of them on Twitter–smart people who love books and libraries! And I thought they did a marvelous job of talking through some of the complexities and issues of New Adult, without ever condemning the idea or the readers. There was a lot of food for thought there, and I really really wish I had been able to stay for the Q & A session, because just the one or two questions I heard were very on point and sounded like they were going to lead into some great discussion. If you’re interested, there’s a resource page here. […]
