Saturday Spotlight: Bullying

As you might be aware I ran a Saturday Spotlight a few weeks ago about bullying (here) Thanks to the wonderful comments from lovely fellow bloggers and some I came up with myself; I was able to put together a list of books which deal with bullying to some extent.

I was hoping to host a anti-bullying themed week on my blog for Anti-Bullying week 15th - 19th November. However, I understand that a few other people want to run their own anti-bullying weeks. I would like to tie this all together by using a hash-tag on Twitter #ABW and by displaying the Anti-Bullying Week Blog Button below. Also if you could give me a schedule of what you are going to post I will put it on my blog on the Monday and then a recap at the end of the week. Giving more publicity for the posts and therefore the anti-bullying campaign.
