* readergirlz is about girls having SERIOUS FUN while talking about books with the author and their friends!

* readergirlz is about giving teen girls the INSIDE SCOOP about why the novel was written-the tears and joys and real-world angst that the author has lived and layered into her story.

* readergirlz is about getting teen girls to read great books so they get to KNOW THEMSELVES, their friends, and yes, even their mother, better.

* readergirlz is about CELEBRATING STRONG GIRLS in books who've got the guts to dream.

* And most of all, readergirlz is about INSPIRING GIRLS to make history of their own!

Music:

Hey, readergirlz!
These are the songs Sarah suggests for Just Listen!

The readergirlz divas couldn't be happier to work with postergirlz for readergirlz, an advisory council which generously lends their YA lit expertise to guide our book choices. This amazing group is made up of some of the biggest names in YA lit blogging as well as avid teen girl readers:

* LITTLE WILLOW , readergirlz webdiva and bookseller who writes the famous Bildungsroman blog

* JACKIE , the epitome of an enthusiastic and knowledgeable librarian who writes InteractiveReader

* MISS ERIN , the youngest Cybils' judge and author of her much-read and much-respected blog

* ALEXIA , an avid teen reader, Little Willow protege (which makes her instantly cool in our book) and brand-new blogger

* HIPWRITERMAMA , the candid blogger full of inspirational musings about life and lit who challenges her readers to reach their best

Thank you, postergirlz!
