So how was Book Giving Day for you? Such a great idea this, really enjoyed it. I gave the book on the left to the small son of a friend, his name is Carlos and he was absolutely thrilled with the book....especially when he recognised his name (almost) on the front cover! Hopefully he thinks that the 'really nice librarian' might be a reference to me......lol! I also donated some books to my local library that I hope their younger patrons will enjoy (pic below). Unfortunately as the library is only open 2 afternoons and 1 morning a week I had to drop off the books through their letterbox but I did pop in later in the week to check they had been safely received, and the librarian was very happy with them. Lastly I also took a book down to my mum as I was visiting her on the day - yes she's a little ...mature to be a book recipient but she is very young at heart! My husband was happy that I gifted my own books (although there doesn't seem to be a space on my over stuffed book shelves) and I didn't mind letting them go as it was such a great idea to share my enjoyment of them with young people. It's got me in the mood for World Book Night, I have been lucky enough to have been chosen as a book giver and will be distributing copies of one of my favourite books, the Book Thief on April 23rd.( www.worldbooknight.org) Excellent day, looking forward to next year - share the book love!
