Give A Book Away Day - March 1st
If you guys are anything like me, you have trouble finding room on your bookshelf, but don’t want to give away any of your books. But, on March 1st, I want you to try to give away one book to a friend or an acquaintance. Just give it away. You think they will like it, give it to them, or have them give it to someone else.
I was inspired to try to do this because a friend of a friend of mine just gave me a book (after we were talking about something similar to the topic of the book). I told her I wasn’t sure I would be able to get it back to her, and she told me to just keep it. And, as the receiver of a given book, it felt pretty awesome, and I feel that this idea might spread reading.
So, join me in the challenge?
