Hey YA Readers!
Welcome to the last YA newsletter of 2020. You MAY see another one pop up, but this is the last one I’ll be writing before we finally flip that calendar page. And, honestly, given the incredible batch of adaptation news you’re about to see, this is such a great note to end on. May your end of the year be safe and healthy.
