I'm still out of town in Portland this week, so posting is sketchy (sorry!) but I did want to let everyone know that yes - I am really really aware of Jon Sciezska's great site, Guys Read. I think what he does is awesome, but it is not aimed at the age group I'm talking about (young adult as opposed to middle grade, or more high school than 12-13 years old). I also think that one site (and that's pretty much the only site people have mentioned to me) is not enough. In other words, Jon is awesome, but there is plenty of room in this pool for all of us.
The thing to remember also is that this site will be much more active in terms of daily postings - so readers will hopefully find bloggers whose taste matches their own and that kind of thing. We're going to do something different from Guys Read, but with the same goal; I think we will get along just fine without being a poor imitation.
And now back to helping my aunt pack. For those of you interested in seeing YA books insulted yet again, do visit Shaken and Stirred. Be sure to read the comments......I am shaking my head over this one.
