Congratulations to Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor (Arthur A. Levine Books) for its National Book Award nomination in the Young People’s Literature category!

Lips Touch is comprised of three novellas, each illustrated by Jim Di Bartolo, and was called a “triptych of beautiful fantasy writing reminiscent of Charles de Lint and Neil Gaiman” in a starred review from Booklist. In another starred review, Publishers Weekly noted "even nonfantasy lovers will find themselves absorbed by Taylor's masterful, elegant work."

The National Book Award winners will be announced on November 18. Press can request a copy of the book or an interview with Taylor by contacting Sheila Marie Everett. Find out more information here.
