Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) Has anyone else seen this? http://www.readergirlz.com/tbd.html

I participated 2 years ago but missed it last year. I have a couple of books ready for it this year! The drop date is this Thursday, April 18, 2013.

I love the idea of a good book being found by a reader!

I'm dropping:
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Things Change by Patrick Jones
Hearts at Stake (Drake Chronicles, #1) by Alyxandra Harvey
From Where I Stand by Tabitha Suzuma


Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) Is anyone else dropping books? (Or hoping to find them?)

Angela, I always hear about these things too late! I should just start dropping books whenever!

I also (too late) heard about World Book Night (http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/) and want to get involved with that next year.

It's not until tomorrow, so you still have time to find a book from your "already read" shelf! I already had (and have read) the books I'm going to be dropping. I tried to pick ones in good condition of course, but they say used books are fine.


Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) I'm so excited. I dropped 2 books in front of the high school and two more at the Coldstone's near the middle school. I need to swing by Starbucks to leave the last one.

I happened to drive back through the lot by Coldstone's about 4 hours later and the books were not where I left them, but teenage girls were. I'm hoping they picked the books up!

Very cool, Angela. I hope whoever got your books enjoy them.

Our local used bookstore always has a box or more of free books outside its door. I donate there, besides browsing for gems.

Also, today I just gave books as parting gifts to my reading students. The favorite was: Scary School by Derek Kent.
