post-apocalyptic an dystopian for that matter.
Damn, I feel like that ship has already sailed. Incorrectly.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Are...are any of those actually YA series?
The hell?

Because books.
Weetzie Bat is definitely YA, yes.

Isn't A Wrinkle in Time YA?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
When I worked at Borders many of those were in Intermediate no YA.

I think A Wrinkle in Time is much more middle grade. Again, not that teens won't read them.

Speaking of Weetzie Bat, I just read the latest one, Pink Smog, and loved it. Even tho' part of it made me cry. (It hit some buttons I've been talking about in therapy.)

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Yeah, we had L'Engle in my elementary school's library.

I'd always thought it was a children's book series, huh. But I don't know anything about it, so there's that.
I do love that The Enchanted Forest Chronicles got a mention, though.

Earthsea was originally sold as children's, but certainly it gets read by teens (and adults).
Are there really hard-and-fast distinctions between YA and younger categories? Or is it just a marketing category?
