#worldbookday

World Book Day. In 1995 UNESCO decided that this yearly event would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, as well as that of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.

Happy belated World Book Day everyone!

Due to my birthday yesterday I totally forgot to post something. I’m sorry.
But I wanted to share a photo of the one book that really got me into reading.
*drumroll please*
Harry Potter and the Philsophers Stone! ☇
We read it in 5th grade and I immediately fell in love with the story. Because I did not own the books back then I borrowed them from my cousin. Even though I was a really slow reader I eventually finished them.
Since then I started buying and reading books more and more.

Which book got you into reading?

Willy Wonka

I didn’t make the costume but I am really proud of Odin and my collaboration on the chocolate bar (piece of wood wrapped up in foil with illustration by Odin) and golden tickets!
