GRRM is going to read a selection from Winds of Winter at Worldcon.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well, he's still doing the ADWD publicity tour. (And at least he has selections to read.)

Is it wrong that I'm kind of tempted to go to Reno? I'm not much of a con-goer, though.

Because books.
Someone on G+ posted a question asking for everyone's favorite children's book, and listed To Kill a Mockingbird. I love that book, but I wouldn't call it a children's book, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is a children's book up to but not including YA? I was probably a pre-teen when I read it, but I don't know what the target age is seen as.

I read it in 8th grade, and I was not ready, personally. But I think it is commonly assigned at that age.

I think that my kids read it in 7th grade so not "children's book" like say, Splat the Cat or Diary of a Wimp Kid but certainly a middle-school book (also,TKAM is probably my most favorite book ever!)

Because books.
When I hear "children's book" I generally think under twelve. But that might just be me.
