YA thread linkage
Quick post for those of you who are interested in, well, books, but don't read either westerblog, John Scalzi's blog, or boingwonder...
So I saw this post in Scott Westerfeld's blog referring to this post by Cory Doctorow at boingboing as well as John Scalzi's post. It keyed off of the fact that Cory Doctorow's new book Little Brother (which, as it happens, I just started while on the plane to Nashville), is being published as YA, and how that means that some of his adult readers are having trouble finding it, as they normally don't look in the YA section. They then go on from there about how much good stuff is being published in YA, and how a lot of adults don't know about it.
