The National Book Foundation is doing an adult summer reading program with lots of prizes! I found a little pamphlet in a book store where you can check off activities and mail it in, or you can do it all online :)

holy shit I think this is exactly what I wanted?

While I sort of get the impulse, it does always get my back up when people talk about something like Animorphs with this attitude of 'omgggg remember these books, how on EARTH were we allowed to read these books, they're so grim and dark and violent and tragic, no adults could possibly have known what they actually contained or they'd have been banned.'

And like. Allowing for the fact that there absolutely are adults who think every distressing topic ever should be banned from children's literature - they're children's books. You were allowed to read them when you were a kid because they were written for kids. Bridge to Terabithia is also a children's book. So is Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller and Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry and The Giver and loads of other books that deal with heavy, difficult topics. It is appropriate and good for children to have books about these things that are tailored to their reading levels and it genuinely really bugs me when people act like they're somehow not really for kids because bad things happen in them or they end tragically.

#it's a genuine skill for authors to incorporate difficult topics into books for younger readers

Is it just me or is "The [X]'s Guide to [X]" starting to approach "A [X] of [X] and [X]" levels of over-use and meaninglessness?

Really cannot explain how absurdly charming I find the plot beat of 'demon possesses magician, gets really enthusiastic about the chance to be human and kind of scandalized by what a bad job its host was doing beforehand. Immediately pours out liquor cabinet, starts eating exclusively healthy, home-cooked meals, working out daily, and spending all its leisure time keeping up with relevant news and academic literature'.

"What a tool cynicism is to the corrupt, claiming the whole of the creation is broken and fraudulent, and thus we are all excused to indulge in whatever sins we wish - for what's a little more unfairness, in this unfair world?"

love when books pull a "depressed bella in new moon" montage of blank pages with sparse headings to indicate the passage of time, mirroring the blankness the character experiences during that time
