My morning gripe

bjornwilde I know they are not omniscient, but lately I am getting very frustrated with Common Sense Media as they never seem to have the books I want to check out for my daughter. She is wanting books again and has specifically asked for urban fantasy. This is challenging as she is 12 and most of the UB books I know have questionable content.
Then again, she has read the Hunger Games and Divergent series, so content controls don't need to be quite so stringent as they used to be. I'd love to introduce her to October Daye but I can't remember how those books would compare to Hunger Games as far as content would go. Then again, she is also really good about not reading anything that makes her uncomfortable. I was also thinking of Gaiman's Neverwhere (which Common Sense Media didn't have).
In other gripes, yes Chris Evans played Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, but no, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers are unlikely to appear on screen anytime soon so he will not have to play both Johnny Storm and Steve Rogers. Besides, Michael B. Jordan is Johnny now.
Also, yes, Ethan is an American Werewolf in London. You aren't original so please stop.
