Kelly Jensen <\/a>(Book Riot editor<\/a>, co-host of Book Riot’s Hey YA podcast<\/a>, & editor of Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World<\/a><\/em>) joined us for the 23-hour bestseller, Handbook for Mortals<\/em> by Lani Sarem<\/a>. We’re so glad that CSI: YA solved this case and brought the book off the bestseller list, because, wow, it is not good. Join us for a story about a girl who’s pretty, but not, like,\u00a0too<\/em> pretty? But pretty enough that her magick (with a k) brings all the boys to the yard, including Wayne Newton and Carrot Top. For real: Carrot Top is in the yard.
