  9. @LynneKelly @literaticat So many people don't get that there's "upper YA" and "lower YA", either. I think books should be shelved that way. 8:19 PM May 26th via web in reply to LynneKelly
  10. @literaticat I would have said: 1) it's for teens; 2) she has freedom to read with her kid and discuss in 2 or 3 yrs; 3) SHE should read it. 8:18 PM May 26th via web in reply to literaticat
