YA in Korean

Since my blogmate always updates us on the Polish book market, I thought I'd check out what was available in a Korean bookstore. First, let me say I have never seen so many Graphic Novels in my whole life! There was partically an entire floor devoted to nothing but Manga. I'm also proud to say that our two favorites were front and center (though it took me FOREVER to find the Twilight series since I was looking for the traditional black covers I've seen on all other editions.

I did notice a boy looking at "The Hunger Games", and it was all I could to to control myself and not gush about how wonderful that book is! (I didn't want to give the Koreans the impression we American librarians are complete crazy or anything...)

Time 100

Suzanne Collins is one of the "Time 100" of the world's most influential people. Pretty cool, but the drawing that I suppose is supposed to depict her is really awful and very little like her, imo. It looks like this series of purposefully terrible sketches one of my students does of me.

No Stephenie Meyer on the list, although Robert Pattinson is.
