World Book Day is an international celebration of books, authors, and reading held annually on April 23rd. It was created by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1995 to promote the joy of reading for enjoyment. On this day, people around the world come together to celebrate literature, share stories, and encourage others to pick up a book. World Book Day is also an opportunity to get discounts on e-books at Amazon or other online retailers. Whether you’re a voracious reader or just getting started with your literary journey, World Book Day is a great time to explore new genres and discover new authors.
