Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

Today, April 25th is Independent Bookstore Day! How are you celebrating the day? In about an hour, I'm going to my favorite independent bookstore and maybe buy me a book (or two) and see what else I might find. If you're looking for ideas, here are a few ways to celebrate:

- Buy a book or other items from your local independent bookstore. If you can't make it out see if the bookstore has a website and maybe buy something from there.
- If you have a favorite independent bookstore, tell your friends about it.
- If the store has events that interest you, try to attend. As well as tell your friends about it.

Don't forget, comic book stores count as independent bookstores! So don't forget about them when you're out there today celebrating and supporting Independent Bookstore Day!

Happy National Book Lovers Day!

Hi everyone, happy Saturday!

Today is National Book Lovers Day! I just love book holidays, they are a fun and wonderful way to celebrate our love of reading and our love of books. For National Book Lovers Day, how are you celebrating the holiday? I'm going to celebrate by continue reading The Matchmaker of Périgord by Julia Stuart. I'm really enjoying this book, I'm nearly finished and I should have my review up sometime next week. To make my reading experience even more enjoyable, I'm going to get a snack, make myself a cup of hot tea and then get cozy and comfy on the counch and just read.

Happy National Book Lovers Day!

Happy National Read A Book Day!

Hey my fellow bookworms, it’s National Read a Book Day! Which is not to be confused with the recent National Book Lovers Day (that was on August 9th).

I love any day that we can celebrate books, although to us bookworms, that’s pretty much every day for us, right? So, what are you reading? Do you plan on spending some time reading today? My plan is to read Caribbean Cruising by Rachel Hawthorne for an hour or more before I go bed. It should definitely be a good reading day (well, evening).

What about you, how are you celebrating National Read a Book Day?

I don't know how I forgot that today was World Book Day. This book holiday is a good day to celebrate the beauty and significance of a good read. So, pick up that book you have been waiting and planning to read. I think books are important to the mind, body and soul. You gain so much from reading, whether it's knowledge, inspiration or simply good stories there is always something amazing about books.

How are you celebrating World Book Day? What are you reading today? Did you check out books from the library or maybe you bought a new book? However you celebrate the day, I hope you find some time to read. Happy World Book Day!

The more that you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

Happy National Read A Book Day!

It's National Read A Book Day! What are you reading?

This book holiday, encourages us to disconnect for a while and pick up a book (which includes digital and audio)! So, whether it’s one you’ve read several times or one that you’re picking up for the first time, there is no better day to get lost in a good book.

Make sure to find some time and have fun reading today. I love to read because books bring new worlds to life, enlighten us and transport us on exciting adventures.

Happy National Book Lovers Day!

It's always a good day to read but today is a special book holiday, National Book Lovers Day! It's where anyone (and not just us bookworms) can celebrate books and a love of reading. With everyone so busy, today is the perfect day to find time to enjoy a good book. I know at some point today, I'm going to get comfy on the sofa and read my book.

Although, the holiday maybe unofficial, it's still a special day for all of us bookworms. So, how are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day?

Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

I love wandering into independent bookstores and discovering new books and stories. To celebrate Independent Bookstore Day stop by your favorite bookstore or if that's not possible go to the store's website to discover a new book.

So if you can, go out to a bookstore today. Not because it's Independent Bookstore Day, but because bookstores are awesome every day.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

Happy World Book Day!

I love World Book Day it's a holiday for anyone who is interested in reading, from the prolific reader to the newly interested. This day is also about celebrating books and maybe even finding a new favorite one.

I think today (and just about any day) is perfect for grabbing a book off the shelf and sitting back and enjoying a good read or savoring the last one you read.

Happy World Book Day!

What are your favorite versions of "A Christmas Carol"?

It's Christmas Eve, it's the night when mean and misery Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by ghosts to get him to change his ways. This is a timeless story that's found in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It's one of my favorite classic stories and it has been adapted so many times that I was wondering what are you favorite versions of the story? Here are some of my favorite adaptations and I would love to know what yours are.

Description:

A Christmas Carol is one of Charles Dickens most cherished and loved stories. Loved by both adults and children. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge on a cold Christmas Eve Night, three ghosts take him on a scary journey and show him the error of his ways. Showing him his past, present and future. Scrooge eventually learns to love Christmas and everyone around him! A must read at Christmas time.

Happy Read a Book Day!

It's Read a Book Day which is a another book holiday for all book lovers, bookworms, etc to indulge in our favorite hobby reading books absolutely guilt-free. So for this wonderful book day, what books are you reading? Is it a classic or an old favorite or maybe it's something new. I’d love to know.

I'm reading Rebellion of Thieves by Kekla Magoon, it's the second book in the middle grade trilogy series, A Robyn Hoodlum Adventure. If you can, take time out today to read a good book.

Happy Bookstore Day! (+ a Mini Geeky Bookstore Movie and TV List)

Bookstore Day is a way for bookworms to celebrate and support local independent bookstores. How are you celebrating this wonderful book holiday? Are you going to order books online from your favorite bookstore or are you going to safely make an in-store visit? As for me, I'm just going to order a book or two online but if you do go into stores don't forget your mask and to social distance.

Don't forget to check with your local bookstore to see if they are offering any fun deals. And don't forget about comic book store, they're independent bookstores as well. I also included a mini Geeky Movie and TV List.

Happy World Book Day!

For us bookworms everyday is World Book Day and while we can’t go out to visit our local libraries or favorite bookstores this year, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate this wonderful book holiday.

Here are three ways you can enjoy the day:

1. Order a book online or check out a digital book from the library. It's a good way to support your local bookstore or library.

2. Make a list of books you want to read, buy or check out from the library. Are there any books or series that you want to read? Making a list will make it easier to keep track of all the books you want to read.

3. Rediscover your bookcase. There are probably books sitting on your shelves that you forgot you had and this will give you a chance to rediscover them.

Happy World Book Day Everyone!

Happy World Book Day!

What better way to celebrate World Book Day (and National Reading Month) than by finding some time to read? What book (or books) are you currently reading?

Although today's WBD is for those in the UK and Ireland, I still wanted to wish everyone a Happy World Book Day. For us in the United States it's next month on April 23rd, I'm not sure what the dates are for other countries but I think it's the 4/23 as well. Regardless, I'll wish everyone a Happy World Book Day again in April.

According to the World Book Day website, the day was created "to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own". I think that's absolutely wonderful and to add to that I also hope the day will encourage everyone to read. It doesn't matter if it's a physical, digital or audio book, all that matters is you're taking a little time to read.

Take Your Child to the Library Day!

So today is Take Your Child to the Library Day! When I was a kid, I used to love going to the library (and still do), it's a fun experience going through the aisles and finding books you want to read. I love bookish holidays and today is a fun way to get kids use to going to their local library if they have never gone before.

This may be a day to get kids to go to the library but you don't have to have children to go. Visit your local library today (or any day) and find yourself a new read.

Happy National Read a Book Day!

It's kind of funny that today is National Read a Book Day when I have been on a week long reading break. I love to read but I was starting to feel burned out and I knew I needed to a take a break. So even though I'm on a reading break, I still want to wish all my fellow bookworms a happy National Read a Book Day!

What's a book you recommend the most?

Happy World Book Day!

World Book Day is not only for celebrating the joy of reading and the love of books but also to encourage children and teens to read and have access to books. I love reading which is why I started The Book Girl's Book Blog as a way to share all the wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) stories that I've read and found.

Is there a book, new or old, that you're really interested in reading? For me, I have a long list of books that I really want to read and at the top of the list is You by Caroline Kepnes (which I still need to get). There are so many books that I want to read that I wish there were more hours in the day so I could spend more time reading.

How are you planning on celebrating the day? Taking some time to read, going to the library or bookstore to find a new (or old) read, donating some of your old books, etc. No matter how you celebrate the day, I wish all my fellow bookworms (and aspiring bookworms) a Happy World Book Day!
