This is funny because I regularly lament the lack of age-appropriate books in my childhood. Apparently, until there was Harry Potter, there was no money to be made in publishing tween books. So I was reading Stephen King
in the 5th grade. And don't get me started on V.C. Andrews
.While I read the Potter series, I have not picked up Twilight, The Hunger Games or anything by The Golden Compass guy.
There are just too many books to read and I need a compelling reason to go back to the YA genre.
However, I have been reading books with my nephew Alex, age 6. More than a few Scooby-Doo mysteries
. Abe Lincoln's Hat
(pictured), which I may have mentioned before, was awesome. Oh! And the Duck
books.I can't wait to start debating the merits of S.E. Hinton with him.

I have been known to read a YA book here and there. I've read all the usual suspects of course (HP, Narnia, Unfortunate Events...). I have also read some other YA books that aren't in the popular culture. I feel this way. If people stare let them, I have leared to read which entitles me to read anything I gosh darn please! :)
I've read a lot recently about The Hunger Games, I suppose because they are making a movie, and keep thinking I should have a look at that at least.
