TBD 2010, Post-Op Party!

Welcome to the TBD 2010, Post-Op Party! Did you Rock the Drop? Did you hit the TBD Wish Lists? Then join us here at the top of the hour.

And if you weren't able to drop a YA book in your community with 100 authors across the country, jump into the conversations anyway and celebrate the 10,000 new books donated by our beloved publishers. Today in honor of Support Teen Literature Day, those books fell into the hands of teens on tribal lands.

Kudos to rgz partners: YALSA, Guys Lit Wire, and If I Can Read I Can Do Anything. Kudos to everyone of you who is passionate about teen literacy. Let the party begin!
