Join Me for the #HolidayReadathon - December 1st and 2nd

Join Me for the #HolidayReadathon - December 1st and 2nd

The Holiday #Readathon was originally started by Author Liza Wiemer to encourage reading and giving your time, services, or donate to your community. 

I hosted the last #holidayreadathon in 2016 and I really missed doing it last year. So I'm bringing it back on a much smaller scale. There aren't any sign-ups, challenges, or giveaways. This readathon is supposed to be fun and no pressure. All you have to do is #readandgive 

For the readathon, I will donate $5 to my local food bank for every book I read next weekend, Dec 1st and 2nd.

If you want to participate in the #holidayreadathon, just #readandgive Dec 1st and 2nd. It's that easy.


I'd love chat with readers on Twitter @ActinUpJoli and see your posts on Instagram @actinupjoli Please use #holidayreadathon and #readandgive so I can see your posts.

I HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME by Liza Wiemer



This week Liza Wiemer, author of 2015's HELLO?, is launching a new initiative, I HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME. IHYFM is a revolutionary website that asks teens and adults to anonymously share moments from their teen years they wish they could ask forgiveness for but have never had the courage to. Until now.

During your teen years…
Who hasn’t done something stupid? Thoughtless? Rude? Cruel? Mean?
Who hasn’t made mistakes? Done things they regret?
Who hasn’t been afraid to ask forgiveness, but instead chose silence?
Who hasn’t wished they had said, “I’m sorry,” but now it’s too late?

It’s not.

I HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME is the opportunity to share your burden. To admit what you’ve done. Anonymously. So that teens can learn from your experience.
Let’s make a difference. Together.



Readey to submit your story? Go to http://ihopeyouforgiveme.com 

All stories shared are anonymous - no telling details save for details you provide are shared publicly. The goal is the bring people together and help today's teens realize they are not alone by reading the experiences of others.
