Abraham Lincoln Was Gay!
Kelly departs for maternity leave a few days early, so Hey YA gives an early welcome to its new interim co-host, Book Riot’s own Tirzah Price! Tirzah and Hannah already co-host the Read Harder podcast, part of Book Riot’s InsidEars perks, so they recommend a number of YA books that hit many of the Read Harder challenge tasks.
Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher.
