Weekly Wrap-Up: November 24-30, 2019

I like keeping up with book news, like award winner announcements and "best of" lists and new booklists shared, so I thought I'd start doing a weekly collection of news and announcements I have found, along with a recap of my own posts from this week. Hope you enjoy! :)
