A few links for today:

• Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia now has a blog. Wahoowa!
• The New York Times Bestseller List will now split YA and middle grade into their own categories.
• I can only assume that a Game of Thrones-inspired series of beer means that brews you love will be discontinued at any given moment.
• The Atlantic Wire chooses their favorite YA and middle grade titles of 2012. Lots of great choices.
• I certainly lean toward naming kids (and pets!) after literary characters.
• Really intrigued by this new biography of Madeleine L’Engle.
