Some photos of Anna  Paquin and Stephen Moyer's wedding in a grassy vacant lot in Malibu last weekend. They are grainy and the Pacific Coast News Online only allows a link, so you will have to click to see them. Actually they look like paparazzi shots.   Obviously the couple were pretty casual in their arrangements, but Anna seems to have worn a nice white halter style gown and super-high black "court" shoes.

With his new wife reportedly cheering him on, Moyer and friends apparently jumped into the ocean after the ceremony (USMagazine.com)!

Is Suzanne Collins Hunger Games Trilogy Really Suitable for Youth?
And, speaking of violence, Sheryl Cotleur, an adult book buyer for Book Passages an established Literary Services and Book Store in California's Bay Area, is questioning the Hunger Games Trilogy as YA literature. Her article may have convinced me not to read this gore fest.  Hunger Games Trilogy: Questioning the Violence

  1. This stuff with the Hunger Games is just one more drop in the bucket about how publishers are mislabeling books. They usually label a book as Adult/ Young Adult/ Juvenile, etc. based on the characters ages. Maybe they think only teenagers will be willing to read about teenagers? I don't know.

    I don't think Twilight is a teens book. I don't think the Hunger Games is a teen book. I don't think Harry otter 4-7 are kids books. But, the main characters are those ages, so that much be the only audience.

    So stupid.

    That being said, I don't think these were all that violent, especially with what is out there. LOTR and the Sword of Truth series' are far more violent, and nobody squawks about those (I know, they're "adult" books, blah, blah, blah).

    And, honestly, people are taking their 5 year old kids to see Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Avatar and who knows what else. I'd rather they read something violent instead of watch something violent. Maybe their electronically-overstimulated brains will learn a little something along the way.

  2. I think this is a cool feature. It's like headline news for the YA book community!
