Snippets on Wednesday has become snippets on Monday this week as we are saving Wednesday for a fantastic announcement. So here are a selection of snippets from the book world that I have discovered on my travels around cyber-space this week. Click on the headings to go to the link for the full article.
Brits lie about books. Have you ever done this? "Two out of three Britons have lied about reading books they have not, and George Orwell's 1984 tops the literary fib list" This is according to survey carried out by the organisers of World Book Day.
World Book Day was held on the 5th of March and is the annual celebration of reading in Britain. Although it's over their website still has some interesting info on it.
There are some fantastic and very strange book titles out on our shelves at the moment as publishers and authors come up with new and interesting ways to hook the reader. So of course there has to be an award somewhere for the oddest book title each year. For details of the 2009 winner view this article Cheese wins...
Hope you are all out enjoying the sunshine. Ka kite ano
