About Book Lovers Day

When is Book Lovers Day? This holiday is held on August 9 and the first Saturday in November

Are you an active reader? Reading teaches you and expands your knowledge. It takes you to fantastic places and on far-away adventures. And it makes you a super sleuth as you solve murder mysteries. Book Lovers Day encourages you to find a place in the shade to relax with a good book. Use this August 9 holiday to open up a new book in your favorite genre.

Book reading is a great hobby. This hobby looks great on your job resume. It’s an important one, too. Employers look for it on resumes. Reading is educational, informative, and relaxing. It makes us both smarter, and happier people.

Book Lovers Day is a great day to celebrate. Just grab an interesting book, find a quiet, cozy place, and crack open the cover. Celebrating Book Lovers Day in August is pleasurable on the deck, under a shady tree, poolside, or in a cozy hammock. If you fall asleep while reading, that’s okay. It’s all part of the relaxing benefits of being a book lover.
