Dolly Parton, Patron Saint of YA
Eric and Kelly reflect on the biggest YA stories of the year, highlight some great YA memoirs (& memoirs they’d like to see), and talk about some of their personal reading habits.
Hey YA is sponsored by the Book Riot Read Harder Journal, Once a King and HMH Teen, and the True Story giveaway.
Hey YA is available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and right here on Book Riot.
