Authors, looking for the readergirlz group forum thread to report your own participation in Operation TBD? You’ve found it!

If you are a published author dropping a copy of your book in your community on April 17th, 2008, and you hope to attend the TBD Post Op Party, leave your comment here.

We are psyched to have you celebrate Support Teen Literature Day with YALSA and rgz! With so many authors across the world participating at once with readers at the TBD Post Op Party, this will be an unprecedented event! We’ll have much to celebrate as ten thousand publisher-donated books are dropped in pediatric hospitals across the country. We’ll be cheering every readergirl, teacher, librarian, and author who releases a book into his/her community out of a love for YA lit.

Authors, click here for your downloadable TBD Author Bookplate.


Then tell us how:



Read, reflect, and reach out!

Hey, everyone!

I’m totally rocking the drop! Woooooot.

I’ll be dropping a copy of On Pointe,



probably at my local Starbucks because I lurve that place. And it’s right next to the high school.

See you all the TBD Post Op Party!

I am so rocking the TBD book drop.

I’ll be leaving

someplace, like the Teen Zone community center near the Boys & Girls Club here in town!!!

Oh this is going to be fun! Where oh where shall I set my book free? Where oh where will it go from there? I wish I could put a little radio-collar on it to track its journey, the way scientists do with wildlife.
See you all at the Operation Post-Op party!

I want to release a copy of FIREBRAND and RECRUIT somewhere in the Indianapolis area. Just not sure where. I could use some suggestions from girlz who live around here. If you have suggestions, drop me a private message!

Thanks and keep reading!

Rocking the Drop at 2 teen centers for the underprivileged in Northern New York.
Skin Deep, Delacorte, released March 2008

What a great idea!

I’m rockin’ the drop with "Star-Crossed" in Denver on April 17th! Denver teens, leave me a message on mySpace with your suggestions. I have already given a copy to the Eating Disorders Unit at Childrens Hospital, but that was before I heard about Operation TBD! YMCA? Dag Boz? Fluid Bar?

Sorry about the dyslexic spelling! My kingdom for a personal copy editor. I’d like a literate, coffee-drinking parrot who sits on my shoulder...

Thank you in advance to all of the participating authors!

Woot! Word is spreading. Welcome and thanks to all the authors!

I’ll actually be in Arkansas, doing some school visits. But I bet I can find somewhere special to Rock the Drop. I’ll tell you where at the party!

Ellen

You got it, ReaderGirlz! I’m dropping my YA novel, A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl and will hope to stop in to the party!

I will be dropping several copies of WAKE around the greater Phoenix area, woot!

Love this idea!

I’m rocking the drop with copies of my book, Freshman Focus.

This is a really great idea, RGZ, and I am proud to participate.

It’s so FUN to see all these amazing authors Rocking the Drop. Who else is in?

I’ll totally be rocking the drop! I’ll be donating copies of my two most recent books, In Their Shoes: Extraordinary Women Describe Their Amazing Careers and my new book Chill: Stress-Reducing Techniques for a More Balanced, Peaceful You.

Love this idea, and I’m so psyched to be a part of it!

XOXO Debbie
