#BOOKADAY
The #bookaday hashtag began in the summer of 2009 for people who were part of a Book-Day-Challenge issued by Donalyn to share what we read during the challenge. It has expanded to be a regularly used hashtag with challenges issued over holiday and summer breaks.
In November 2016, Donalyn launched her #bookaday giveaways on Facebook as a personal commitment to donate at least one book that celebrates our global family every day for the next four years.
#TITLETALK
#titletalk is an hour-long Twitter chat moderated by Donalyn Miller and Colby Sharp on the last Sunday of every month beginning at 9 PM EST. The first half hour is spent on a literacy education topic; the second half hour is spent recommending titles. The second half is what has earned #titletalk the unofficial title of “the most expensive thirty minutes” on Twitter.
NERDY BOOK CLUB
Donalyn Miller co-created (along with Colby Sharp and Cindy Minnich) the Nerdy Book Club blog in December 2011 as the online home of the Nerdy Book Club Awards. It quickly grew to include daily posts that shared and promoted a love of reading – especially a love of reading books for children and young adults.
You can read all of the posts and see the winners of the Nerdy Book Club Awards at http://nerdybookclub.wordpress.com.
