    Valentine’s Day on 14 February is also International Book Giving Day, an annual event to get books into the hands of children and foster a love of literature. Set up 10 years ago by the blogger Amy Broadmoore, and organised by the British author Emma Perry, Book Giving Day is now celebrated in 44 countries.

    The stories you share, and how you do that, is up to you, but many participants choose to be ‘book fairies’, printing official International Book Giving Day bookplates or bookmarks to place inside books, which they leave to be discovered, read and treasured.
