No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was wondering about that book to. Since I do not have personal ties to New Orleans, I think I will purchase.

Because books.
Crap, 75% of my post got eaten, and I'm all ranted out.
Short version: Encyclopedia Brown and An Unfortunate Series of Events were not written for a YA audience. Which doesn't mean they didn't or won't read them, but I would love it if any journalist bothered to differentiate between middle grade and YA, or post-apocalyptic an dystopian for that matter.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Children's books and YA books are totally different! Except when there's a weird crossover, but those two examples are clearly children's books and not YA.

The article link got eaten, too, I realized.

Damn, I feel like that ship has already sailed. Incorrectly.

Weetzie Bat is definitely YA, yes.

Isn't A Wrinkle in Time YA?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
When I worked at Borders many of those were in Intermediate no YA.
