Happy Anniversary to readergirlz

I wanted to give a quick shout out to the Divas over at readergirlz…Happy Two Year Anniversary! Since their launch in March 2007, readergirlz has connected tons of YA authors with their adoring fans through interviews, live chats, contests, and more. As their manifesto states, readergirlz is about:

• having serious fun while talking about books with the author and your friends
• getting the inside scoop about why the novel was written, the tears and joys and real-world angst that the author has lived and layered into her story
• reading great books to get to know yourself, your friends, and yes, even your mother, better
• celebrating strong girls in books who’ve got the guts to dream
• reaching out to others based on what you’ve read
• inspiring girls to make history of their own

Every month, readergirlz features a different author – this month it’s Mary E. Pearson, author of The Adoration of Jenna Fox. And coming up in April is one of my favorite YA authors, Ellen Hopkins.

Congratulations to readergirlz on this very special occasion!
