I have more cool links to share! I've enjoyed these, and I thought you might, too...

* From Den of Geek: "Looking back on The Baker Street Boys." "Nostalgia ahoy! With Sherlock Holmes more popular than ever, Alex looks back at eighties children's drama, The Baker Street Boys..."

Found the Tsunami review hard to read... such gullibility. I think the lone comment at the end was more on target.

You are very welcome :-)

I really dislike books that pull punches too, but YA is no more guilty of this than the adult genre...

Finally read the YA article today. I do "get" all of the points made, and I agree one should read what one wants to read, but I still personally have generally negative feelings about the popularity of YA fiction among (mostly-female?) adults, as you know. I found the comments interesting. One was a new idea (to me): the poster disliked that YA books are labeled and marketed as a category - similar to the inane "chick lit" label/category; never thought of it that way, but I see the point.

The Lovecraft article makes too much sense. I always suspected Snape of getting his house Miskatonic scholarships en masse!
