Today is Read Your World Day!
Let’s celebrate by:
1) Linking up diverse children’s and YA book reviews
Please add your links to our Big Giant Linky:
2) Join us for our Read Your World Virtual Party
We will be giving away book bundles tonight at 8 pm EST.
Our party is free, and registering helps us to contact the winners for our book bundle giveaways!
Please register for the Virtual Party: readyourworld.org/virtualparty
3) Support Our Book Fair Fundraiser
This year, we’re raising funds to provide diverse books for a FREE Book Fair at Northeast Elementary School in Waltham, Massachusetts. The fundraiser ends right after our RYW Party, and every contribution helps put books in the hands of young readers who need them most.
Please help us spread the word by sharing the fundraiser link with your networks. Every share brings us closer to our goal!
Donate & Share the Fundraiser: readyourworld.org/fundraiser
See you tonight!
