Here is your chance to vote for your favorite book!
Everyone will have their chance to select and vote on their favorites
Here's how:
Beginning May 22, 2018
at 8pm ET through October 18, 2018 at midnight PT, there are two methods of
voting, which include:
· By using the voting
app on The Great American Read website. You’ll have to register before your first vote, using either
your email address or a Facebook login, but after that you’ll be able to vote
with just a few clicks.
· By posting an original
post to Facebook or Twitter using the official hashtag for your favorite book.
The hashtags for each book can be found on the individual book pages in
the READ
THE LIST section. You can also download a PDF of the hashtag list here.
You can place one vote
for each book every day, so go ahead and vote for all of your favorite books
When the full series of
The Great American Read launches on September 11, 2018, we’ll launch two extra
ways to vote for your favorite book, alongside the existing online and hashtag
voting:
· By calling a Toll-Free
phone number for each book. We’ll add the phone numbers for each book to the
READ
THE LIST section when
Toll-Free voting goes live on September 11, 2018.
· By sending an SMS with a
unique code for your favorite book. We’ll add the SMS number and unique codes
for each book to the site when SMS voting goes live on September 11, 2018.
All voting methods will
close on October 18, 2018 at midnight PT. The results will be revealed and The Great American Read winner will be announced in the Grand Finale show.
