LibraryLass wrote: "Also, for children's day category... how old do the kids have to be?"I've just finished listening to Paper Towns by John Green and it's about seniors graduating highschool. One of the girls has just turned 18 and is already a legal adult. And I'd still count is as a kids book, I mean it's designed for kids so why not. But I think this is the upper limit - 18 yo and end of highschool.

Although anybody over 18 is definitely not a child... :)

Hope you feel better soon. Though being able to read makes being sick a little bit bearable. Yes, yes, only us readers will see it that way :)Curious on your take on the third Hell on Earth book. It has a "different" ending, making this trilogy, despite its humor, slightly dark. But Daun is definitely one hot demon. *grins*
