  • World Book Night 2012 – TODAY!

    Posted at 11:00 am by Laura, on April 23, 2012

    What are you giving for World Book Night? How do you plan on making a reader?

    I will be giving away The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and I couldn’t be more excited! I work in a university library as well as the campus Learning Center, where I tutor students on writing. My plan is to give the books to ESL students and those who struggle in their writing skills. This is for two purposes: to take a break from studies and experience American culture through literature, and to show that reading is fun as well as helpful in improving writing abilities.

      Oh how exicting! We didn’t have The Hunger Games on our list. I wanted to give away The Book Thief but unfortunately I didn’t get chosen.

        Oh no! You weren’t selected to be a giver? You would make a fantastic giver. Maybe next year!
        I’ve heard so much about The Book Thief. Do you have a review of it?

    • Hello, I’m Laura!

      I'm a bookish bookworm and book hoarder. By day I'm a literary agent, and by night I'm forever rearranging my bookshelves. I could talk your ear off about Gothic literature, and in my past life people thought I'd become a professional musician. I have a fluffy black cat named Rossetti, I love to travel, tea is my drink of choice, British TV is the best, and I'm always down for chips-and-queso nights. Welcome to Scribbles & Wanderlust! Grab your favorite hot beverage and let's chat books!
