World Book and Copyright Day is April 23! Celebrate the Day!

Ginny- I always have a book with me thanks to Kindle that I upload to my Droid.

Dee-that’s one that I read probably in the early 70’s and have not read again.  I might just reread it.

Barbara-  I love to see anyone reading but especially young people.  

BarbaraT- oh, I bet your grandchildren love you!!   In a previous life when I did psychological testing, I had to administer a brief reading test to see if they were going to be able to read the test.  So many couldn’t read above the 3rd grade level, I realized the importance of our schools teaching our kids to read if nothing else.

Ron-  What a coincidence!   While I love Shakespeare, I love reading mysteries.

Conrad-I know.  I have tried to stay away from buying books except through Kindle and even at that I don’t own a Kindle.  I read them on my PC or Smartphone.  

Dianne- it does make it easy, and I’m not one that can just crank out a post.  I have to work at it, so I don’t want it “lifted.”

John/QMan-And guess what... when and if you retire, you’ll probably be busier than ever!  I too find that a lot of my time is spent reading on the Internet.  

Janis- I’m so glad you like it.   Reading is so important.  And when I hear of a parent reading to their children and taking them to the library I know that they’re starting them off on the right foot.

Lenn- well how in the heck could I mention copyright day without mentioning YOU!!!   I no longer buy paper books and  I read the  newspaper online.  Love it.  

Malcolm-when my niece started putting together her social media plan for her business I suggested she learn about copyright laws.

Richie- I’ve traveled to so many places and through so many times via the books I read.

Gary- it should be on Lenn’s birthday!  We listened to audio books on our long trips before Sirius radio!

Doris-that is such a great idea, especially starting the babies off with their first books.  Even though I get my books online I still love going into a brick and mortar store.

Joanna-I’ve read that there is still that question, but I’m just going to still think he (Shakespeare) wrote them.  That would make an interesting read, though!

Teri-yes, and I think the only cost you’re out is the shipping.  

Sandi- I know what you mean about no time for books!  I’ll read a few pages while drying my hair!  We just “discovered” our library last year.  Before that, we hadn’t been in one since college.

Richard- I accidentally went by your name but I don’t have an eReader either but I have books from Amazon’s Kindle on my Smartphone.  I didn’t want to have another electronic gadget to carry around.  And yes, if Lenn is using one, then we all need to get in the game!

Erv- I got the pic from iClipart,to which I subscribe. And I do love ebooks.

Lou- ok...we want to know...do you have an eReader?

Joe- and a good phrase it is!!!  Have a great week.

Stephen-if you’re not familiar with Lenn’s posts on copyright, then sit down with a cup of coffee and have a read.

Carie- I think it’s a good idea for all of us to be reminded about copyright.  I know that when Pinterest came out it was a big issue.

Ron- thanks!  I'm going to that site tonight after my AR time!  The older I get the harder it is for me to remember if I'd already read a book or just think I did. 

Wanda- I agree with you on all counts.  The opportunity to sit and read is like a treat for me.  And Lenn is the go to person regarding copyright. 

Linda- I still do like holding a book in my hand but it's nice to be able to travel and not have to take along a ton of books.  

Morgan- I think that if the eReaders have brought more people to reading then it's worth every penny. 

Toni- we are, aren't we.  I wonder if that's such a good thing.

Gretchen- one of my favorite days was when my best friend's daughter and I spent the afternoon by the water reading. 

Judi- I have been trying to put everything in digital form for years.  So tired of paper everywhere.

Suzanne- Glad you liked it!  I remember the first time I read Shakespeare.  Didn't understand what I was reading but after I learned to read him, I loved it.
