Kate! Hello!! So wild that your kids are that old now!! I know I read a lot of inappropriate shit as a teenager. I still remember at some point in middle school (maybe 6th grade?) I did like an extra credit book report on watership down (because I had randomly read it) and the teacher was quizzing me about what it was *really* about and I was like “…rabbits??”
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

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."

Kate, yeah a lot of the research I was doing on the YA books was eliminating the ones with SA themes because I don’t think she’s ready for that yet. And I have some really scary body horror books on our shelves that will definitely remain a no for now. I am going to let her read the Grishaverse books after she’s done with the Hunger Games because I think those are mostly on the same level maturity wise. Movies are easier for me because she’s mostly into musicals.
