I first mentioned here that I'd been picked to be a World Book Night giver. I was so lucky to receive my first choice of book - Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. An absolutely amazing book - my book of the year in 2012! It has 2,240 5* reviews on Amazon. My mini review is here.
Here's how I've distributed them:-
I gave one to Lucy who collects every Christmas for a homelessness shelter in Dundee - for the last two years I've donated beauty items. She's going personally to donate my book.
Two went to friends on Facebook, Lauren and Kim - Lauren reads books but just not this type and Kim starts reading a book but doesn't finish it. I sent my aunt a copy too.
I gave the rest to random people on my way to work - it felt good to raise a smile or two! Some people thought I was expecting money for it and two didn't want to take it and said a resounding NO! Some were really made up and said I'd made their day - which is just so nice! I also gave three to work colleagues who were pleased to receive them.
I even got a book myself from a fellow giver - this totally made my day! I got Damage by Josephine Hart.
When I got home from work I distributed a few more locally and raised a few smiles and lots of thanks.
Totally recommend being a World Book Night giver!
