Operation Teen Book Drop 2009

Operation Teen Book Drop was started last year by Readergirlz and YALSA. It was a huge success. 10,000 YA books were given to top pediatric hospitals and encouraged others to donate. Last year, I was interview about this subject, because of my love of books, my past extended hospital stays, and my involvement in Readergirlz.
I will bring you news as it comes. The date is April 16th. So, I hope you will donate books. If you have any extra. It is a wonderful cause and so easy to do. =D
Also, check out Little Willow's post on it.

Operation TBD...

was today. It was so exciting. The party on http://groups.myspace.com/readergirlz was a lot of fun. 10, 000 books to sick teens in the 13 hospital in the US and Canada. It was worth over 175,000 and donated by 21 publishers. I am just smiling with joy, because at the same time Readgirlz/Readerguyz and author were dropping these books in public places. So many people were on the board and it was amazing.

Reading Since Last Blog:
Jinx by Meg Cabot was amazing. It is action and has some romance. I found it a bit predictable. Jean is moving to New York to escape her image and her past as "Jinx". She finds that is hard to do so.
Sweethearts by Sara Zarr was very awesome. Jennifer Harris or should I say Jenna Vaughn, is haunted by the disappearance of Cameron Quick(Her childhood best friend). She has changed her appearance and moved from her old life. Suddenly, he does and her life changes.
21 Proms Edited by David Levithan and Daniel Ehrenhaft (currently reading), so far cute and funny.

Quote of the day: "Some books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered. " W. H. Auden


Love Sarah.
