1. whatever publishing exec thought it was a good idea to add an inch and a half to the length of a mass market book should be taken out back and shot. It's completely disorientating. Mass markets are supposed to completely regular. They may be 100 pages or 500 but the geography of the page should remain the same. The entire point of mass markets was a was a certain consistency.("mass" -- hello!) In other formats I accept and even embrace variation, do not take away my safe place!
2. I officially hit one third of my yearly goal today. In February. If I keep it up, I might actually manage my old 200 book goal. I haven't figured out yet what my percentage of YA to other fic is. I maintain, given that I'm a highschool teacher, YA is valid material for me to read. However, if it creeps up over the 50% mark, I might have to impose limits.
