Ages

   I'm going to give myself some clear guidelines so what I say actually means something.

Children's Book; 1-7 (This is a picture book. There will not be many of these, but you never know.)

Pre-teen; Ages 8-11 (These are also basically Children's books, but novels instead of pictures.)

Teen;12-16 (More mature and more difficult without a complicated plot necessary for keeping the attention of an older reader. Most chick flicky books, like Twilight, will be in this area.)

Young Adult; 17-25 (Mature content but not graphic. Longer or more complicated subject matter.)

Adult; 26-100 (Probably not going to be a good book.)

   Anyone in a higher age group is perfectly welcome to read books assigned to previous age groups. There is nothing wrong with reading a book that is too easy as long as its interesting and not all you're reading. Also, my age groups are iffy. People have different intelligence levels and reading speeds, as well as time available for reading. This is a general guideline to give people somewhere to start with. I'm sure you can figure out where the books you usually read are classified and go from there.
   Please remember one thing; I am not a teacher yet and this is my own personal opinion. And no that doesn't mean I'm just throwing out random numbers. It means I'm guessing and that is a totally different thing.  Yes, I'm kidding. Again.
