I've participated in the Readergirlz sponsored Operation Teen Book Drop since its inception and today is no exception. I'll be dropping signed copies of WAKE at my daughter's orthodontist office waiting room (Dr. Wing) late this afternoon, over on Ellsworth and Guadalupe in Mesa, AZ:
What is Operation Book Drop?
Check it out:
Help rock the drop!
From Readergirlz website:
In 2008 and 2009, readergirlz (http://www.readergirlz.com), Guys Lit Wire (http://guyslitwire.blogspot.com), and YALSA (http://www.ala.org/yalsa) orchestrated publishers' donations of nearly 20,000 new young adult books to hospitalized teens across the country.
For 2010, If I Can Read I Can Do Anything (http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~ifican) has joined forces with these three organizations to drop over 10,000 new YA books, donated by publishers, into the hands of teens on Native American tribal lands. Nationwide, librarians, over 100 YA authors, and teens will drop YA books in their own communities on April 15th, 2010, to raise awareness for Operation TBD 2010 and Support Teen Literature Day. Everyone will join an online TBD Post-Op party at 6 PM PST / 9 PM EST that evening at the readergirlz blog (http://readergirlz.blogspot.com).
So Rock the Drop!
Left some books on a park a bench... A few minutes later, I spied a really hot guy pick up a copy of Lovestruck Summer!
I think he might have taken it home, too.
