World Book Night

You don't know what World Book Night is? That's ok, I didn't either until after it happened this year. making sure not to make the same mistake twice, I signed up for their mailing list, and woke up to an email this morning about the 2013 edition. As per their website:

World Book Night U.S. is a celebration of books and reading held on April 23, when 25,000 passionate volunteers across America give a total of half a million books within their communities to those who don’t regularly read. In 2012, World Book Night was celebrated in the U.S., the UK, Ireland, and Germany and saw over 80,000 people gift more than 2.5 million books.

This year's books include titles by Margaret Atwood, Ray Bradbury, Sandra Cisneros, Paul Cohelo, David Sedaris, Tina Fey, and many more.  For more about the organization, check out their about page, and find you how you can get involved.
