Photo Friday: Charlotte Sometimes

You guys know I love Charlotte Sometimes. The songs. The voice. The total package. Her new EP is available for free download here. Go get it!My friend Erin and I got to see her show earlier this week, and here's a pic of the three of us (Erin, Charlotte and me). Watch this video for a taste of her awesomeness (this is my favorite song on the new EP), and then go get that EP! PS-We're talking music over on Teen Fiction Cafe too. Come visit! PPS-I'm speaking at the YALSA annual pre-conference in DC today with awesome authors Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl and Malinda Lo! Will report soon. (Say hi if you're coming!)

Operation Teen Book Drop Day!

What's today? It's Operation Teen Book Drop day!This is the third year readergirlz has helped lead the effort, and this year they'll be delivering 10,000 new books to teens on Native reservations and tribal lands. To learn more about the effort and rgz partners, check out the Operation TBD page. Many thanks to GuysLitWire, YALSA and If I Can Read I Can Do Anything! All you have to do is leave a book in a public space for some lucky reader to find. Viola! You've rocked the drop. (Grab an official bookplate and extras here!) I'm rocking the drop in Spain--photos soon! (Remember last year when I left books all over and Lovestruck Summer was in a daffodil planter?) Libros, libros, libros! Let's spread them all over the world, okay? Who's in?!
