I agree with you, Fiona. This group is really opening up my horizons.

That's true. There is no way I am going to plow through what I have now, so I might as well add ones I'm really going to read.
Becky is right on the ball. It's a type of style really, mostly from Japan, Korea, etc. There's some American manga as well. Generally manga is read opposite of a regular book.. takes a while to get used to. Some are "americanized" to read like a normal comic book.

Well I'm a super geek when it comes to comic books I guess hehe. Which is funny because I never read them until I took this one Literature class in college a few years back.
Thank you, Becky and Kristen, I've been wondering that for a little while. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
Goodness gracious, there are 84 messages in the last 6 hours! That is amazing! I always thought of LHoP as historical... but that is just me. My mom read them to me and my sisters when we were younger. It was great!
I have a concern! We're calling "WILD THINGS" and our logo is the epitome of BORING! We need a new logo! * http://www.everypicture.com/shop/book...

NO, NO, NO! I found it:
What do you think? (I love google...)
I like the first one - we thought about doing something like this, but we didn't want newcomers to see the logo and think the group is filled with a bunch of kids discussing children's books. So we thought about putting the monster with a walker or a cane....hee hee...But I do like your idea Sara, we're in the process still on the picture, just didn't want it to hold up the opening.
(Ignore the fact that that TOTALLY looks like a romance novel...)
Wow - just saw that picture just now with the glasses....may be a bit too girly, but other than that I love it.Fiona??
I like the picture with the glasses.
*whispers*You know, Fiona, Jon said he's good at Photoshop - maybe he could change the color? Is that the only thing you don't like?
I forgot about your hatred of Pink.... :( Sad!
well that picture looks like we're discussing romance novels or something :P I do think its cute, though. Just doesn't look "YA"
Maybe we should have a competition! We can take our own pics and then choose our logo from there?

I love the glasses--they're snarky. Maybe if we could change the color and make the book look more like.... I CAPTURE THE CASTLE, say... ;)
Awww... I almost had her! ;) I don't know... ... I do love that little Where the Wild Things Are monster....
maybe Jon can photoshop him into a power suit :P lol.
:)That would be nice! May take a bit of a photoshop miracle tho.
The Wild Things monster is so cute!!!! It's always been one of my favorite books!
It is cute, I'd love to incorporate him. If we could put him in a suit, or maybe have him carry a briefcase??We'll have to ask Jon.
well so are you, but you're still loved.
I really like it! You made him look er...cheerful almost.
I like him period, so I don't think it's possible to mess him up;) Good trying sweet Tweets!
I love the Wild Things monster idea...
This one, I just like. It looks like an adult monster with Max, and it's NOT a cartoon.
omg, I love the monsters with books PLEASE can we use that one?!?!?!
The monsters with the books is a great one!
The monster with the books is really cool!
FIONA!! You should add it! Then if someone doesn't like it they can tell you :P
I can't believe I found one we like!!!! It's not really adult, but it IS a wild thing with books:)

Plus who says a bunch of adults cant be mature and still have fun and like a classic such as Where the Wild Things Are?!?!? Its a great pic!
I love the picture of the monsters with the books also.
