Applications will close tomorrow 23rd January for World Book Night 2013.
You can apply to be a giver simply by going to the site looking at the books, making your choice and then applying to give them away on 23rd April. You get three choices, as obviously some books are better known that others and more likely to be chosen. The questions are brief and it will only take a moment or two.
The idea is to encourage reading and particularly to focus on people who don’t normally read. Receiving a book should encourage the person to open it, and to be helped to enjoy the story.
The selection this year is a little more literary than last year.
Some of my favourites are ” Girl with a pearl earring”, “The island”, “Casino Royale” and there are definitely some others which I will put on my “To Read” list.
Apply now and help to celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday.
