- Soho Press is launching its Soho Teen imprint; GalleyCat provides a sampler of upcoming works, including those of Jacquelyn Mitchard.

- GalleyCat compiled free samples of the 2012 Man Booker Prize Longlist.
- NPR needs your help to compile its list of 100 best-ever YA novels from 235 semifinalists. (Many of their choices are on the TWFT site's recommended reading list!)

- Public service announcement: anyone can nominate a book for a YALSA award. If you really liked a book you read this year, now's your chance to speak up.
