Sweet Sight

How beautiful it is

When copper-colored leaves

Are all that’s left on trees

Bright blue the sky

Open the Magic Day

National Open the Magic Day is

September 25th.

#OpenTheMagicDay

The purpose of this special day is to encourage read-alouds, picture books, the love of reading, and children finding their reading voice.

 To celebrate the day, people are encouraged to read a picture book with a child (children). 

 This is the first year that this day is to be observed, so think of the wonderful time you can have setting up an even bigger celebration in the coming years…

Get Lost in a Book

When was the last time you told someone to GET LOST! Well, if you’re an author, hopefully, it was just the other day. People who love to read, don’t really need an invitation to get lost… in a book that is!

September 6th, is:

NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY

Promote, as you see fit, all the reasons why someone should read one of your books! Perhaps, read one of your books over a connection such as ZOOM. Offer a free eBook. Leave paperback copies in coffee houses, on park benches, etc. Donate books to hospitals, nursing homes, or even prisons/jails.

Because you love books, be good to the books in your collection. Organize your collection in order of what you’ve read versus what you have yet to read. Or rank them in order of favorites or soon to be favorites. Dust their shelves… Books are your friends, so show them a good time!

Remember: #booksmakegreatgifts

Go on now, get lost!
