Wek 7: Assignment 4

I saw a lot of fantasy at Little Brown (much of it shading into horror) and at Random House. Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction seem to be going strong. Harper showcased realistic settings. It was disappointing that Random House offers separate lists for girls and guys. Of course I can't put my hands on it now, but there was a recent article about how if you take gender (including obscuring any gendered cover material) out of the book talk kids will respond with equal enthusiasm.
