This makes me so happy! Go NZ. What a great idea. When I was little we had the summer Pizza Hut reading program that let you earn free pizza. I read more books those summers than any other. ❤️🍕

BarbaraJean This is fantastic! 6y

LiterRohde I‘m so pessimistic. My first thought was that it‘s still a good idea but that here in America it would get kids to eat less fast food. I know. I‘m horrible. 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @LiterRohde haha not horrible, realistic. I'm just hopeful that by teaching kids that books are treats that maybe they'll read more. 6y

LiterRohde I‘m just a frustrated 9th grade reading teacher. Maybe part of the key would be to get them early when they still eat Happy Meals. 6y

julesG We had books in the HM a few times here in Germany. Made my kids crave fast food. 😉 6y

EH2018 I was always so excited to earn that free pan pizza! 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @LiterRohde whew good luck! I hated reading at that age. 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @julesG I mean, fast food is delicious haha but what a bonus to get a book too! 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @EH2018 right?! It was the best! 6y

julesG We go to McD maybe once a year, so it's always something special for my kids. 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @julesG yeah my Mom only got it for me when I was sick as a special treat. It's still the only thing I want when I'm sick as an adult. 6y

SleepyDragon They still have a reading program at Pizza Hut during the school year if the teacher signs the class up. Jack in the Box *used to* have puzzles and mini National Geographic Kids books in their kids meals occasionally, but then they stopped putting any treat in with their kids meals, so we stopped buying them. 6y

WhatThePuck It's what we get after doctors appointments too. The hubs just started eating McD's again after a 12 year hiatus. He watched super size me and lost his appetite. So it used to be a treat for me and the kids since we only got it when he wasn't around. It's still what we want when we don't feel good either. I've had a head cold all week and I've eaten breakfast there every day this week. 😂 6y

EclecticBookLover Book It! I still have my pin somewhere!!!! 😁 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @EclecticBookLover yassssss!!! #bookit 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @NeesyBeth that's awesome they still do it!! I'm half tempted to look kinda it myself 🤣🤣 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WhatThePuck that movie was awful but it didn't phase me lol. That's funny we both want it when we're sick ❤️ there's just something comforting about it. Aside from the fact it's delicious. And they have the best Coke ever. 6y

WhatThePuck @Whimsical.Curiosity milk shakes were a big thing for when we were sick. Emmalea and I have strep a lot. Now poor Jacob can't have milk shakes so I have to run by Speedway too for a slushy. 😂😂 6y

WhatThePuck The show also didn't phase me. I might have even ate McDonald's while watching it. 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WhatThePuck slushies are a solid substitute. 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WhatThePuck bwhahaha I can see you doing that. And all this talk has me wanting McDonald's! 6y

WhatThePuck I had it for breakfast tonight. My mom just invited me to Frisch's. Who am I to say no? 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WhatThePuck Frisch's!! We go there got breakfast buffet every time I'm home. Those French toast stix are the bomb. 6y

WhatThePuck We had to quit going for breakfast when Andy went on medical leave. We couldn't afford the breakfast buffet for 4 people. 😂😂😂😂 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @WhatThePuck it's expensive! And the staff give no Fs. It's the only place my Dad will go for breakfast though lol. He lives right back in that neighborhood off Taylorsville road. 6y

Memories: From Moscow to the Black Sea | Teffi

A friend tagged me on another platform. Oh maaaaan, the memories!!! 😆😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I loved Book It! I lived on Pizza Hut pizza while it was going on 😎. Anyone else participate in #BookIt when they were a kid?! 😁

Bookwormjillk I did, even though we didn‘t have Pizza Hut in our town and I could never use the coupons. I just liked the sound of it. 6y

m.galehuxley Yes! I often wish for an adult version of it. 6y

anneofgreentables Yeah! I‘d totally forgotten about that. Our local library also offered ice cream cones at a local diner as part of their summer reading program, although I probably would have read all the books anyway. 6y

Bookcation74 Ohh the big pin you got was coveted in my house! 6y

Jbakesmcgee3 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️it was the best!!! 6y

JenReadsAlot Yes!! 6y

rather_be_reading YESSSS!! 6y

TEArificbooks I loved it as a kid and now my youngest gets a pizza each month from school 6y

IheartYA Yes! It was awesome! Within the past couple years both Pizza Huts within half an hour of us closed. Sad! 6y

TEArificbooks And our library would do a summer reading program where the reward was a coupon book to all sorts of restaurants in town and free admin to the zoo 6y

corycatelyn It was the best thing ever!!! 6y

Jas16 Omg! Yes! I loved it. My grandmother would take me to Pizza Hut every time I got a coupon. 6y

Karkar Loved Book-it!!! 6y

Sharpeipup I did! My Pizza Hut knew me by name... 6y

Craftylikefox Book It was my jam!!! I got so many personal pan pizzas and that was the only times I went to Pizza Hut 😂 6y

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I would have earned way more pizza if we were allowed to count all the books I read! It ensured our family went to Pizza Hut once a month, at least! 6y

LibrarianRyan They have an adult program now. Or did (all our pizza huts shut down so I have no idea). 6y

Eggs My daughters did BookIt 6y

Read This!: Handpicked Favorites from America's Indie Bookstores | Hans Weyandt

I recently rediscovered one of my old Book It! pins, and I thought my fellow Littens would enjoy the nostalgia (the fifth sticker must have fallen off because I was always obsessed with earning them all). I have vivid memories of standing in Pizza Hut, waiting for that box to slide across the counter. I really wish they'd extend this program to adults - although with this crowd, they'd go broke pretty quickly! #bookit #bookitprogram #bookitpin

jfalkens I wish that too! I also wish they'd have better adult reading programs at the library 7y

ErikaB @jfalkens I'd actually rather get a free book than a free pizza. I think I just miss that feeling of accomplishment: "Here's a prize for something you were going to do anyway!". 7y

jfalkens @ErikaB I'd rather have the free books than pizza any day! I miss the excuse to read as much as possible all summer, getting free books at the start and end and the fun activities during it plus the start and end parties 😀📚 7y

ErikaB @jfalkens I'd always try to finish tests and in-class assignments as quickly as possible so I could spend the rest of the time reading. I also miss SSR - all you were allowed to do was read! Adults need that, too. 7y

jfalkens @ErikaB I did that too! I loved that class too but ours was Reading Renaissance, we had it from 6th-8th grade only. 7y

ErikaB @jfalkens What really drives me crazy is when I remember pieces of short stories we read, either in textbooks or as part of extra reading units. I rarely have enough information to find them now. The only one I remember for sure was "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury, which is still one of my favorites. 7y

jfalkens @ErikaB I hate when I can remember bits of the plot and the cover but that's it! It drives me crazy 🤣 I haven't read any by Ray Bradbury yet, I just got ferhnhite 451 for Christmas. Our English teacher was to obsessed with Shakespeare to teach us much else unfortunately 😕 7y

ErikaB @jfalkens I really enjoy Bradbury's short stories. Several were adapted for the anthology TV series "The Ray Bradbury Theater" and had some pretty well-known guest stars, including Drew Barrymore and Jeff Goldblum. They can tend towards a bit of late-80s cheesiness, but they're still fun! 7y

jfalkens @ErikaB I'll have to check them out after I finish Fahrenheit 451 😊 7y

Handmaid's Tale | Margaret Atwood

Finished last night.. not the kind of book I normally read but I liked it. I had no idea what I was getting into but I need to reread the Old testament and look at the treatment of slave woman in a new light. Probably won't watch the hulu show about it though.. unless someone has watched it and thought it was amazing and worth a watch.. let me know! ☺️☺️. #kindle #latenightread #bookit #dystopia #girlpower

Becca95 The TV show is amazing 😍 I have got the book in my TBR pile so can't compare it for you unfortunately, but the TV is so good as it's own piece, obviously they've had to modernise it here and there but it's still worth a watch 👍🏼✨ 7y

Ke633 Awesome @Becca95 thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check it out! 7y
