World Book Night

On Wednesday 9th March, the avid readers of the Book Club rec were visited in the Fyi by a young aspiring writer with a passion to share reading and to encourage young people to read. Her name: Danielle Rose. 

Danielle started the session of Book Club by telling us about herself and what she does for the World Book Night event. 

Danielle is currently studying English at university. She enjoys creative writing, especially poetry, and she belongs to Blackpool’s Dead Good Poets’ Society where she and other members perform a selection of poems. Danielle’s kind of poetry, as she herself described it, is “ A copy of Cosmopolitan magazine digested and then thrown back up” in which she tells the world of stalking boys and living as a shop-a-holic.

Danielle then went on to tell us what World Book Night does and how she became involved with the national event. Danielle got involved with the group almost a year ago and helps distribute books to local schools and colleges. The books are then passed on and can be tracked with a unique number on the BookCrossing website. 

To release your own book into the old world of book sharing then head to:
http://www.bookcrossing.com and get sharing. “Our community is changing the world and touching lives one book at a time.”
