This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

I have been thinking of reading them to see if they can be a good read for young kids. Though, I get the feeling (without actually reading them) that they are more suitable for teenagers, then kids of 8-9 years old.

What do you think?

They are indeed for teenagers, but I first read them in my early 40’s and still loved them. The books are full of Greek and Roman history and myths which I love too. I’ve read them twice now :)

Oh yeah, I wasn't talking about upper limit, I have read and enjoyed many books aimed at young adults. I was talking about lower limit.

I think it's honestly more aimed to older kids, but depending on their reading level and maturity it might be a good read. The books are quite dark, especially in the later ones.

Yeah, I am going to read them myself first. Thanks for the feedback!
