Read It!

We are thrilled to introduce Read It!, a program designed to reignite the joy of school reading challenges. At Afterglow Books, we are committed to promoting adult literacy and believe that everyone could use a little motivation. Just because we’re adults now doesn’t mean we don’t deserve a reward for finishing a stack of books! That’s why we’ve partnered with Macy’s Place Pizzeria to help you meet your reading goals and enjoy a delicious personal pan pizza as a reward.

FAQs

Do I need to have a printed bingo board?

Yes. If you don’t have access to a printer, you can track your reads electronically. Once you complete your bingo, you can fill out a paper board in-store to receive your voucher. We’ll need to keep a copy on file for tracking purposes.

What does this prompt mean?

The prompts are open to interpretation, so feel free to approach them however you like. While each prompt was created with a specific idea in mind, the goal is to encourage reading and help you explore new genres. That means there’s no wrong way to interpret a square! If you’re stuck on a prompt, you can also check out our list of Book Recommendations for inspiration.

Which square does my book fit into?

Many books can fit into multiple squares, so we recommend choosing the square that will most likely help you complete a bingo. The good news is this is meant to be fun, so nothing is set in stone! If you pick one square but later realize another would give you a bingo, feel free to switch it!
