Drop Everything And Read April 12th
posted by Chrispian at 10:23 AM - Category: Book Events

April 12th is "Drop Everything and Read" day. Another great book event. The main goal is to get families to get together to share in reading & books. It seems specifically aimed at kids. So if you don't have kids of your own, go grab your niece or nephew or the neighbors kid and read to them. If you can't find a kid then just pick up a book and read! I doubt visitors of Readers Unbound actually need an excuse to read though. I know I don't :)

Check ou the Drop Everything And Read Web site for details.

Buy a Friend a Book! week happens twice a year four times a year, the first weeks of January, April, July, and October, and is an effort to introduce people to great books and get more people reading. It's a great project and this will be the second time I buy a book for someone for no good reason. Okay, it's a good reason, but no "paticular" reason... you know what I mean. I hope you take part in giving someone a great book to read!
