Rocking the Drop

I’m so excited to be taking part in ReaderGirlz first ever Operation Teen Book Drop (TBD) on Thursday, April 17! ReaderGirlz has partnered with the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) to donate more than 10,000 YA books to teen patients in hospitals across the United States as part of Support Teen Lit Day.

While the books going to hospitals are being donated by book publishing houses, ReaderGirlz wanted to get authors involved too, so they have reached out to teens and YA authors everywhere and asked us to leave a book in a teen gathering spot in our community where the book will be found, taken, and read (i.e. a coffee shop, a park, a school, a bus stop).

I’ll be dropping a copy of my books Chill and In Their Shoes here in Seattle…I haven’t figured out the perfect place yet, but will do so by Thursday. And you can participate too! Share one of your favorite YA books with another teen by doing a drop of your own. You can download a bookplate from the Readergirlz site to stick inside the book you drop.

Everyone who participates in Operation TBD is invited to celebrate at the TBD Post-Op Party on April 17th on the .

Here’s to getting more great books in the hands of teens! Let me know if you participate in Operation TBD!

Cheers,

Debbie
