I have exciting news! I was chosen to be a book giver for World Book Night in April! The purpose behind World Book Night is spreading the love of reading to non-readers, people who don't generally read for enjoyment. I filled out the application in January and had the opportunity to discuss this exciting adventure with the local bookstore owner. When filling out the application, you had to choose three books to potentially give away (I am hoping to give away John Green's Looking for Alaska) and will be notified which book was selected for us soon. We will be prompted to pick up 20 free copies of our chosen book and give them out on April 23rd for World Book Night. I am hoping to be substitute teaching that day at the secondary level but if I am not, I will gladly find a place to hand out the chosen book. If you have any back-up ideas, please comment! The trick is not to go where readers go because the target audience is NON-readers so perhaps a supermarket or a local fast food joint will do... There's nothing more that I enjoy then spreading my love of reading. I don't think anyone in particular is a non-reader. I just don't think they've found the right book yet! Here's to hoping I am the one to introduce them to a new favorite!
