Share the Love of Reading #BookGivingDay

Written by

Any day is a good day for sharing a love of books, but today is a special day for sharing the love. Thanks Sarah.

Oh my love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
Oh my love is like a brand new book
That’s in a waiting room

What? (I know. Hold on. I have a good reason for that atrocity.)

I’ve written about my love of books before.

I also have a few essays out there complaining about Valentine’s Day.

Red roses, puffy pink teddy bears, gaudy glitter-covered greeting cards, caramel chocolates, and the fact that this stupid day clearly brings out alliteration in full force. Along with the need to butcher perfectly beautiful poetry.

So February 14^th is a wonderful holiday. Yes, I’ll say it again. Wonderful.

It’s International Book Giving Day.

It’s true! A glorious day dedicated to the love of reading and, in particular, sharing the love of reading by giving books away.

Know about this? Awesome. Get out there and spread the love.

Thanks for sharing Sarah’s post! I somehow missed the first couple of lines of the post and thought it sounded like you were writing to a different tune, Nor!

  I wonder why that happened. Sarah’s tune is differently different from mine, but we are singing the same song. 🙂
