Someone I know is waiting to go in for surgery, and she says she's got 4 books she wants to finish while she's recovering. She called it her bucket list, but with the drugs, it sounded like #BookItList, and I thought, that would make a great hashtag. Then, maybe it already is, and I'm behind the times.

Traveler13 I saw bookit and was like Pizza Hut still does that? And for adults? #hungrytoday 7y
RaimeyGallant @Traveler13 I didn't know it was a pizza thing too! Pizza and books, yum. :) 7y

Traveler13 @gibblr I always killed myself tp get those and never used them. I always wanted that little pizza too. 7y
SpeculativeFemale @Traveler13 Yep, Pizza Hut does still do the BootIt Program; my son's school participates. I have his January assignment hanging on the fridge right now! 📚 🍕 7y
Traveler13 @SpeculativeFemale That makes me unreasonably happy. 7y
VanChocStrawberry @Traveler13 Pizza Hut still does it! I‘m 43 and participated when I was in school and my kids did, too, until they aged out. It‘s kindy-5th grade. 7y
VanChocStrawberry Ha. My phone glitched and I didn‘t see the previous post. 7y
Hornsby78 I was TOTALLY a Book It program kid in the summer time and STILL have the huge, purple Book It button they put stickers on for each book I read leading up to going to get free pizza from Pizza Hut. #Carbs #InhaleTheBooksAndPizza 7y
MizLit Love this idea! 7y
Jennifer3 @Hornsby78 I remember reading books too for Book It and those personal pan pizza! (edited) 7y
Jennifer3 @SpeculativeFemale @Traveler13 I am so thrilled to know Pizza Hut still does this!! 7y
Velvetfur What is this connection between pizza and books? Sounds like it's a US thing, I don't remember hearing about it here in UK, unless I totally missed something... But now I want to read while eating pizza, what a great idea! 7y
RaimeyGallant @Velvetfur I'd never heard of it either. :) 7y
readinginthedark @Velvetfur It‘s an incentive to get Elementary students to read. Pizza Hut gives them a little booklet, and for each book they read (or amount of time, I can‘t remember) they get a sticker. When they fill the little booklet, they get a free personal pan pizza. There are various things like this done by companies in the US. My son‘s school does one with a nearby amusement park. They have three months to read 360 min for a free summer ticket. (edited) 7y
DivaDiane @VanChocStrawberry I‘m 48 and I never heard of this BookIt thing with Pizza Hut. Maybe too old? This would‘ve totally been my thing! 7y
DivaDiane Love the hashtag though!! 7y
Velvetfur @readinginthedark That sounds fantastic! They should do things like that here in the UK, the young ones these days just don't know how to read and write 🙁 7y
readinginthedark @Velvetfur Yeah, it didn‘t make a huge difference for me. Although the pizza was nice, I would‘ve read anyway. But my son‘s a big reader, and he reads even more with the incentives, so they work! 7y
Velvetfur @readinginthedark Aaww, cute 😊 7y
tracey38 @DivaDiane I'm 38 and never heard of this. But love the idea! 7y
RadicalReader @RaimeyGallant what an absolutely wonderful idea for a 2018 and forward reading list a book it list is most definitely the best invention since sliced bread!!! 7y
