As if there aren't enough reasons to celebrate books, here is World Book Day - a day dedicated to reading.
When I was at school, I remember all the teachers in the English department would dress up as literary characters - along with many students, and discuss our favourite books. We would also receive our book tokens and spend some time deciding which what to buy.
I may be too old now to receive one of those book tokens, but I still celebrate the day by telling friends and family about new books. After all, the day is not just for children. World Book Day works in association with Quick Reads which was set up to encourage more adults to read. This is a fantastic scheme which appeals to the avid reader as well.
So to mark the day I'll be reading another Quick Reads title, Doctor Who: The Silurian Gift (which completes my Doctor Who collection in this series...) and hopefully persuade some reluctant readers to pick up a book.
