Another site that recently wrote a post about Girlebooks:

Really cool resource–I’ll need to start publishing some of those books we don’t have up yet! From their profile page:

This is a community for exploring “girl canon”, i.e. fiction that is or was very often read by young girls. It doesn’t matter if you identify now or ever as a girl. Girls’ series books were a genre that developed in the mid to late 1800s. Often they’re Improving Books about being good and patient and sweet while still playing basketball for your boarding school and solving a mystery. They portray friendships between girls and often have a moral component that includes lessons on how to “properly” socialize yourself as female, as well as messages about class, race, and ethnicity. Imperialism (for series books from the U.K.) and “manifest destiny” (in the U.S. series) were other important subtexts.

I just got notice of this writeup from Amy's Stocking Stuffers blog:

She's got some great ideas on using our free ebooks as gifts!

We seem to be getting a lot of press about the site's ease of use and the more friendly formats of the books. Nice to know the work is paying off.
