As a writer for young adults I found the whole new children's bestseller list "fiasco" rather entertaining. Every time I saw a Harry Potter book in the "Adult" top ten I smirked gleefully. It was a good feeling that one of our own was getting such massive attention. I wasn't surprised when the NY Times created their own list for children's books. Nor was I disappointed. A separate list for Children's/YA means that more of my colleagues will get their names out there. And I think that can only lead to good things: higher sales, more author visits, etc. And I'm in favor of anything that puts more $ in the pockets of artists.
