This year we would really like to encourage men to share details of books they have read and enjoyed. A great way to do this is to join the World Book Night Reading Hour #ReadingHour www.twitter.com/explore and post photos of yourself reading or if you’re selfie shy just a photo of the book – the promotion is open to everyone but men it’d be good to see you there maybe sharing a book with your pet!
