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."

I'm trying to organize my children's book collection by age. Is there a good website to use as reference?

Like, reading level? There are sites that give lexile scores - on a quick check Amazon seems to include them for things. But for the most part format is more telling - board books vs. picture books vs. early/easy readers vs. middle grade (="chapter books") vs young adult (which are chapter books with more sophisticated themes, basically.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But for the most part format is more telling - board books vs. picture books vs. early/easy readers vs. middle grade (="chapter books") vs young adult (which are chapter books with more sophisticated themes, basically.)
Also, size of font (which corresponds to # of words per page).

I read it - really good

Looks like a comic, or maybe an illustrated book. BUT! Holy cow.
Other writers also writing new SW material: KEN LIU. MIRA GRANT. SALADIN AHMED. DELILAH DAWSON.
I am agog.
