SO I MISSED THIS?
(okay, so it's the 24th here, but maybe where you are it might still be the 23rd?)
This year, the 23rd of April is... *fanfare* World Book Day!
(At least, in the USA. In England - where it started - it was March 2nd this year. In Australia, it is the 23rd of April - according to Google - but I'd never heard of it before; possibly because we have Book Week in August, possibly because the 25th is Anzac Day and that's a solemn event for Australians.)
There's no particular reason for this post. Except I wanted to wish all you writers a happy World Book Day! Celebrate your creations and the importance of what you're doing!
...
You may continue.
That's so cool! Thanks for letting us all know about it!
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Faith!
DeleteWell, happy belated World Book Day!
ReplyDeleteYou too, Blue!
DeleteAre you a fellow Aussie? If so, that's awesome! I don't meet many fellow Aussie bloggers, so hello! *waves*
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd known about World Book Day; I would have gone on a book shopping spree. :D
Yesss! *high fives* I know - most young writer/bloggers seem to be American. *hastily* Which is /fine/; it's just good to meet another Aussie. :)
DeleteThat sounds like a great way to celebrate World Book Day! (although I'd probably go with a library spree instead, or maybe hit all the op shops. because I'm cheap. xD)
I did not know this was a thing in the US. But that's awesome!

Hm. I suppose it seems to mostly be an English thing (and they have it in March). It isn't a /thing/ in Australia, either, but it should be! Because BOOKS. I will have to try to spread the word. ;)
DeleteOh yes! I'm kind of late to this but my country did celebrate World Book Day! I didn't get a lot of reading done though... I wrote more!

So you worked on creating a book, which is a different aspect, but still very relevant to World Book Day. ;) Thanks for dropping by, Andrea!
