Book Choices for World Book Night 2014

November 22, 2013 10:36 am

The choices for the 2014 World Book Night, when publishers go a little mad and give away books for free, have now been made. Held on 23 April each year this event is now a firm fixture in booklovers’ calendars.

Anyone can apply to be book givers in their local areas and are then charged with the responsibility of receiving a delivery of loads of books and then handing them out on the night.

You can apply to be a book giver from 23 November 2013.

World Book Night has these stated aims:-

To raise the profile of reading through a mass engagement project which works at a grass roots level to inspire those who don’t regularly read to do so
To place books into the hands of those who don’t regularly read
To raise the profile of reading for pleasure through a series of celebratory events
To improve literacy in the UK and Ireland
To bring communities together

Here are the books that will be given away, and remember that the authors waive their rights to royalties on these books given away for free and the publishers fund the printing costs.
