I just wanted to make sure you all knew about this fantastic thing going on- World Book Night. Sign ups have been extended until February 6th, so make sure you check it out!

On April 23rd givers all over the US will be running around giving out BOOKS to non or light readers. Isn't that AWESOME?! All you have to do to be a giver is sign up, pick up a box of 20 special World Book Night editions of the book you selected and pass them around. Brilliant.

Twenty books... that must be expensive! Nope. It's FREE. You just sign up, pick up your books, and give them to people who really need them. So really, you have no reason not to do this. Go, my loves! Go spread those spectacular stories!!

The list of books you can choose from:
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian - Sherman Alexie
Wintergirls - Laurie Halse Anderson
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou
Friday Night Lights - H. G. Bissinger
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz
Kindred - Octavia Butler
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
Little Bee - Chris Cleave
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
Blood Work - Michael Connelly
Because of Winn Dixie - Kate DiCamillo
Zeitoun - Dave Eggers
Peace Like a River - Leif Enger
A Reliable Wife - Robert Goolrick
Q is for Quarry - Sue Grafton
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving
The Stand - Stephen King
The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
The History of Love - Nicole Krauss
The Namesake - Jhumpa Lahiri
The Things They Carried - Tim O'Brien
Bel Canto - Ann Patchett
My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult
Housekeeping - Marilynne Robinson
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot
Just Kids - Patti Smith
The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls
The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

You get to pick your top three choices of book to give out, and they will do their best to accommodate. (So you're giving out twenty copies of the same book) (And they're free!!!)

Sign me up! I want to give out books!
