#GiveaBook

Dec 11, 2014 18:58

Just got in the publicity material from the American Booksellers Association that between now and December 25th, all posts to Twitter and Facebook that use the hashtag #GiveaBook will count towards Penguin Random House's big donation to Save the Children.

Guys, they're giving up to 25,000 books to Save the Children.

That's 25k books.

25k.

Go doooo it. This is for real: I got the real materials from the ABA and Random House in my little paws.

Combined with this is a campaign where they're encouraging people to go to ACTUAL PHYSICAL BOOKSTORES -- ahem -- and take video of themselves holding up a book and saying who they're gifting it to; they're challenging people to do this for three friends they're gifting with books, who are then challenged to do the same, and so on and so on. Pass the book love!

Don't forget to mention the hashtag. DO IT!! Go to a real bookstore, preferably an indie -- like mine! -- and take a video of yourself and post it to Twitter via Vine, or Facebook, and hashtag it #GiveaBook.
