Buckle up kids it’s time to reread Percy Jackson
So this is the launch of a new community where we (re)read books together, share our thoughts and hold discussions, get creative, and try and put a bit of good out into the world as we go
After a public vote, we’ll be reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan in support of Save the Children
Rules and general info:
We’ll be reading one chapter a day. You are obviously allowed to read at whatever pace you want but I’ve set a slow pace so people with hectic lives can still get involved
The event will be from the 1st - 22nd April
On this blog, twitter, and instagram I’ll be posting my thoughts and a discussion question for each chapter so feel free to get involved!
You are encouraged to get involved however you want- be creative! Art, videos, your thoughts throughout reading the book, reading in a new language, writing scenes from other characters POVs, posting headcanons, tiktoks, baking blue food; there are loads of great ways to get involved! The more creative the better
Make sure to use the tag #readforchange so we can all join in on each other’s discussions and hopefully make some new friends!
I also thought it would be great to try and tie in the read along to trying to raise a bit of money for charity and you guys selected Save the Children as our first charity
Read here to learn more about Save the Children and what they do
Obviously I’m not expecting us to raise loads but every little helps!
As with the reading, how you want to get involved in fundraising is up to you. You could donate £1, you could use the sponsorship form to raise money from friends and family (especially if you’re doing something creative!), you could hold a bake sale with blue food, or you could help out by sharing the link to the just giving page
This is all meant to be fun, flexible, and low pressure so get involved as much or as little as you want and really make it your own. I can’t wait to see what you all get up to!
Reblog if you’re interested so we can get as many people involved as possible! I’ll be posting reminders as we get closer to the day but I’m so excited and hopefully you guys are looking forward to it too!
