10 ways to celebrate World Book Day
With World Book Day around the corner, it's the perfect time to celebrate the joy of reading. Here are ten ways you can commemorate this special day:
- Visit a Library or Bookstore: Nothing beats the quiet calm of a library or the charming clutter of a bookstore. Take some time to explore the aisles and pick a book that catches your eye.
- Join a Book Club: World Book Day is the perfect opportunity to join a book club. Not only will you be introduced to new books, but also get to engage in enriching discussions. Check out our monthly bookclub recommendations.
- Donate Books: If you have books that you no longer need, consider donating them to a local school, library or charity.
- Read a Book with a Friend: Choose a book to read with a friend and then discuss it. It's a fun way to bond and share ideas, check out our blog for recommendations.
- Organise a Book Swap: Ask your friends to bring a book they love and then exchange them. This way, everyone gets to leave with a new book to read.
- Write a Book Review: Share your thoughts on a book you recently read. You could post it on a blog, a social media platform or a book review site.
- Revisit a Childhood Favourite: Relive the magic of your childhood by rereading a favourite book from your younger years, such as ‘Le Petit Prince’ or ‘Anne of Green Gables’.
- Try a New Genre: Step out of your comfort zone and try a book from a genre you usually don't read.
- Create a monthly reading party: If book clubs aren’t your thing, each month pick a new book from a different genre and meet up with a few friends to discuss the book (with a glass of wine or two), you can check out our monthly book club recommendations on our blog too!
- Start a Reading Journal: Keep track of the books you've read and jot down your thoughts, favourite quotes, and more. Try using one of our new journals to jot your ideas down.
Remember, the most important thing about World Book Day is to celebrate reading in whatever way feels best for you. Happy reading!
