Rock the Drop! Support Teen Lit Today!
Readergirlz and Figment are going to ROCK THE DROP in honor of Support Teen Lit Day on Thursday, April 14th. We can't wait!
Here's how you can get involved:* Snag the banner, created by the uber-talented David Ostow (who blogs hilarious cartoons here), and add it to your website, linking back to thi
s post to share the love, and proclaiming that you will indeed ROCK THE DROP!
* Print a copy of the bookplate below and insert it into a book (or 10!) that you'll drop on April 14th. Drop a book in a public spot (park bench, bus seat, restaurant counter?) and you're done. Lucky finders will see that the book is part of ROCK THE DROP!
* Snap a photo of your drop and email readergirlz AT gmail DOT com with the pic -- we'll be posting lots of pictures of drops happening all over the world at the readergirlz blog, and our friends at Figment will also be featuring the event!
Imagine people around the globe finding copies of amazing books in unexpected places, gifted out of love for YA lit. Everyone can participate to raise awareness of the day!

A Disgruntled Review: Candace Bushnell's FOUR BLONDES
Offer: Candace Bushnell's 'Four Blondes' |
Message #48745 of 48751 | |
From the author of Sex in the City comes this incredibly vain and superficial, nonsensical story of four women with too much money and too few morals. It's yours, if you want it. I'll leave on front porch. Reply with pick up time. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed |
I have to ask: What the hell was this person expecting?
Ah well. If someone goes to pick up the book, they should leave a 4 Non Blondes cd/cassette behind.
As least we can be sure Bushnell will never respond to this woman's review. Or if she does- it won't be like this.

In this show we discuss the "F-Word".
That's right: FEMINISM.
Kim, Rose and Megs discuss what feminism means to us, what it may mean to others, and what it means for the books we read this week: John by Cynthia Lennon and The Girl with the Dragon Tattooby Stieg Larsson. We shake our heads at John Lennon's antics and gasp aloud at a revelation about Lisbeth Salander. We also announce which of the hosts is going to Africa!
New feature: Literary trivia! Question: Agatha Christie wrote some books under a different name. What is the name?
Put the correct answer in the comments!
We also tell you how to get a free audio book from Audible.com (hint: http://www.audibletrial.com/thelibrary).
Upcoming books are Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins and A Shore Thing
by Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi for the Celebrity Scribes Review.
