On a less altruistic note, Harlequin Teen Panel is still looking for members ages 13 to 17. I'm a member of their adult program and it's great fun. More info quoted below.

Members of the Harlequin Teen Panel will participate in fun quizzes and discussions about things like: books, movies, music and websites. In other words, everything that you’re interested in.

This is the place to be if you love to read!
Sign up today to share your opinion about the books you’ve read and the books you’d like to read—as well as other things that help you choose your books.

. . . you’ll get FREE Harlequin® Teen books (approximate retail value of $10-$15 per book ) And I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about them—so get ready to dish!

But the free doesn’t end there because as a panel member, you’ll have the chance to be entered into sweepstakes for cool cash and prizes (if your parent/guardian gave permission for this). I’ve also got exclusive panel discussions where you can chat about your latest fav book or character and meet new friends who are doing the same thing. And you’ll be in the know with our members-only newsletters that will let you know what’s going down and when.

Another e-mail suggestion I received that was on-topic: Top 10 Books With A Cult-Like Following.

ETA 4/29/12: K. I. D. S. has a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.
