I like some newer stuff. Meg Cabot. Stephenie Meyer. Libba Bray. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. But, yeah, there's definitely a lot that doesn't work for me.

Oh, I LOVE The Dark is Rising! I've been avoiding the movie because as soon as I saw the preview, I knew they changed a lot and then a friend (who'd also read the books) told me more about it and . . . no. Just no.

Yeah, I should. Maybe that can be one of my summer projects.
