@bookling: The cover change on "Liar" was one of the most ridiculous things I'd ever seen. I did think it was interesting, however, that they changed the cover to a light skinned black girl with curly hair instead of the actual description that Larbalestier gives for her character or at the very least a girl who fit…

@CandyBacon: This I completely understand. As I said in another post, Simone is writing to a very specific audience who need this representation to relate, but I'm still wondering when Black YA is going to expand outside of that.

@BringerofthePain: Detroiter too! Funny Jezebel connections.

@autonaimee: She's targeting a very specific group of teens and while that's great because there needs to be something for all teens, I feel like there isn't an inbetween. Black YA normally does shift toward slang overdrive and it always reads horrible if you're not the specific target audience.

@katgirl476: I was going to say the same thing, but I was too young to watch it. That show was not even a part of the tv repetoire of any of the black teens I knew growing up.

@Lana Leigh loves Meryl Streep: I didn't grow up in the burbs, but I did grow up upper-middle class so I get you 100%. I always felt like I was being ignored. This is why my boyfriend and my favorite professor told me that I might have to rethink giving up writing, given this glaring void.

@BringerofthePain: "Tears of a Tiger". I read that whole series because I wanted to know how everyone was doing after the death and all that, but I kept thinking that the writing needed to be improved and I was 14 when I read those books.

@autonaimee: It's not just you. I was typing something like this, but my post was so damn long that by the time I hit post a few people had mentioned it already.

@BringerofthePain: I have similar feelings. That always bugged the hell out of me. The slang should just end really.

I have quite a few thoughts on this.

For 2 seconds I thought Eric Roberts said Eric Roberson, but then I realized this was Jezebel and there's no way . . . .

@armadillo: Right, except for the little stab from Pansy to Angelina about her braids. That always bugged me, but Slytherins generally sucked.

@Ima B. Me: It still bothers me too, but the marriage of George and Angelina and their son Fred kinda cools the burn. Although when I was younger I wanted Fred and Angelina together.

@introverted_innovator: I've said this several times on other articles. I think it's very interesting to me that he's become a "character" and what's become the focal point of an attempted rape is the reaction of the brother. Empowerment aside, I still feel like his apparent "sassiness" is what was/is being mocked.

@CuriousMeans: He's not the rapist, so it's not.

@badmutha: But that's exactly what he's been made to be, a character. The attempted rape isn't the focal point of the story.

This has officially pissed me off. I'm done.

@ScaryMerry: Not well enough to give you any anecdotes besides things from Italian class, but yea I get a little Wolverine pridey whenever he pops up.

@KiloTangoBravo: Damn, Josh Hartnett is bad. I didn't used to think so, but since Lucky # Slevin he's been on my list.

Oh, Darren Criss you'll always have a special place in my heart for coming to Italian class with your guitar and singing in Italian . . . . Oh and AVPM.
