Hi there, fellow readers! Welcome to Day’s YA!

Before we get down to business, I want to introduce myself and share a little bit about me. My name is Emily Day and I’m Macmillan’s new Library Marketing Assistant / YA Specialist. About a month ago, I moved to NYC from Boston, where I worked as a bookseller/publishing intern/grad student combo. While I was working towards my Masters in Children’s Literature, I spent my free time running along the Charles River and reading in the Public Garden. My preferred genre of music is Broadway musical soundtracks (even though I’ve only ever seen one show), I love and collect maps (I even have a world map tattoo), and I look forward to winter all year long (give me all the cozy, cloudy, snowy days).

I read YA almost exclusively, and I am so excited to use this space to share some of my favorites with you. Be on the lookout for posts from me (labeled “Day’s YA” and stamped with this logo), where I will share my candid reviews of upcoming YA titles from Wednesday Books and Flatiron Books YA. The first post (coming VERY soon) will be for Melissa Albert’s THE HAZEL WOOD and I can’t wait to tell you all what I thought!
