Here's a combination for you: free pizza and James Caldwell… books?

Pizza Hut is giving away one million free Personal Pan Pizzas during the month of October to celebrate National Book Month. To get a free pizza, use the code BOOKIT40 at checkout online or on the app to redeem a free Personal Pan Pizza (with an $8 minimum purchase). The code is good until one million Personal Pan Pizzas are given away.

Why would Pizza Hut care about books? The chain has a longtime relationship with reading, due to its Book It! program, founded in 1984. The program rewards pre-K to 6th grade students who meet reading goals with Reading Award Certificates for a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza.

Krabby Patty for real?:The sandwich is coming to Wendy's restaurants nationwide for a limited time. Yes, really.

Pizza Hut says it's given away more than 1.5 billion pizzas to young readers through the program. Educators and home schooling parents can get involved with the program on The Book IT! Program website.

How do I get a free Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza?

Go to the Pizza Hut website or use the Pizza Hut app and with a minimum purchase of $8 you can use the code BOOKIT40 to add a Personal Pan Pizza to your order. The code is good until one million Personal Pan Pizzas are given away.

Need more than a Personal Pan Pizza? You can also order a BOOK IT! Bundle, which includes two large, 1-topping pizzas and breadsticks (available in the app and online, starts at $23.99; ). For every BOOK IT! Bundle sold, Pizza Hut will give a portion of proceeds to the BOOK IT! program.
