pickup sticks

ok anyone else reading crossover appeal and getting major dag/tommy vibes? (dommy?) hello? anyone else out there speculating hard about an oc and writing fanfic of a fanfic? anyway they have consumed me mind body and soul so i had to drabble about it

Tommy doesn’t think about the fact that he’s on his knees in front of Dag for the second time in less than 12 hours until he’s looking up to meet Dag’s hazel eyes. He had knelt to pick up the stick Dag dropped, and hadn’t thought to get up before holding it out to him. Dag has to be recognizing the similarity to last night, too, if the spreading pink tint on his cheeks is anything to go by. Their fingertips touch as Dag reaches for the stick, and Tommy shivers. Dag clears his throat before muttering a quiet “thanks”.

thanks for the beautiful world full of beautiful ocs that you made aron (@emphasisonthehomo) !!!

Question of the Day--Are the Books YA or Adult? Or Both?

Recently, Malinda Lo posted on Twitter and Instagram that her most recent book, Last Night at the Telegraph Club has been published in the U.S. and marketed as YA, but in the U.K. it was marketed as Adult. Among other comments, she wrote, "What does this mean!? The book is the same everywhere! It just means it has crossover appeal for teens and adults." While I was reading her book last month, I was thinking about how the book would totally work for adult readers--even those who don't typically read YA. It made me think a bit about what specific things ultimately get the books labeled YA or Adult.

Obviously, many young adults choose to read books that were written with adults in mind and many adults choose to read books marketed to young adults. Beyond situations where readers make those deliberate choices, some stories seem like they could easily have a place on the shelves in both sections of the library or bookstore. This is in part why the American Library Association has the Alex Awards. They explain that each year, "the Alex Awards are given to ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults, ages 12 through 18."

I was recently reading A Sitting in St. James by Rita Williams-Garcia for a virtual discussion hosted by Ms. Edith Campbell and Dr. Sarah Park Dahlen. The book is being marketed as YA for readers ages 16 and up. While I was reading, as with Malinda Lo's book, I kept thinking that it could easily have a place in the adult section of the library.

I don't think there's an award for YA books that have crossover appeal for adults, but maybe there should be. Here are a few YA books I believe could also be marketed to adults--even to those people who would not usually venture into the teen or young adult realm of books.

Series Review: THE CARLS by Hank Green

Stars: 5/5

I recently finished this duology and was honestly so surprised by how much I LOVED it!

I’m a big sci-fi/fantasy nerd and I’ve found I really like books that are surrounded by video games and/or aliens so An Absolutely Remarkable Thing had kind of the perfect set-up for me. I loved April’s super frank voice. I felt like she had become my friend by the end of the book and I really knew her as a person.
