World Book Night US: 4/23/13

I love the idea of this program!  

To help spread the love of reading books are given out for free on World Book Night and you can be a part of it!  

You get to select the book of your choice out of a list of 30 as well as the place you distribute them in your community.  

All you have to do is fill out a small application and submit it by January 23, 2013, they will let you know if you have been accepted.



Spain has a beautiful tradition of including a rose along with every book purchased all over the country.  I started honoring this tradition in my own home last year and gave the gift of a flower and a book to a loved one, which happened to be The Paris Wife, our first book club selection.  



This keepsake had me running all over the airport in Chicago when I absentmindedly left it on a flight.  Thankfully the wonderful staff at Virgin Airlines located and returned it to me, pressed flower and all.

    I am so excited to say I was chosen to hand out free books for World Book Night (April 23, 2013) and I will be passing them out at the Clayton Community Park that evening. It's a great program to inspire readers.
