Today is #WorldBookNight. Share a photo of what you’re reading (everything counts - it’s all reading!) and let’s share the love.
It is also the National Year of Reading and I set myself the goal of reading everyday. I haven’t done that but still want to. Tonight I’ll start again.
I’m reading ‘Sisters of sword and shadow’ by Laura Bates.
Audiobooks can encourage a love of reading so a charity partnership aims to ensure they get a hearing this coming World Book Night...

Learn how a man born into slavery became one of the most influential voices for democracy. Frederick Douglass' life and words have certainly left us with a powerful legacy.

If you start your classical journey at the Manchester Arndale branch of Waterstones, they have a wonderful section just dedicated to books from ancient Greece. It's like a letter of love from history❤️
From ancient Greece to naming Mesopotamia, it's incredible to think that Greek influences on our daily lives include Democracy, The Olympics, running a Marathon and doctors taking the Hippocratic Oath.

World Book Night is taking place on the 23rd April and all The Reading Agency are asking, is that people participate in a #readinghour from 7pm. For this, we may need to draw on the power of a short story.
But what short stories are best for an hour on the sofa with a good book? Personally, I'd go for either Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle or Close Range: Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx. The floor is now open for ideas 🤔
