World Book Night 2013

Tonight is World Book Night! It's a night to get books to light to non-readers in hopes of spreading book love.  Much thanks to Midnyte Reader who brought my attention to this amazing event. 

I'm giving away copies of Still Alice by Lisa Genova at a local Assisted Living facility.  Still Alice is about a 50 year old woman who learns that she has early on-set Alzheimers and it's told from her point of view.  I work with many Alzheimer patients, and one of my clients lived at the facility that I'm passing the books out at.  It's bittersweet because my client passed away last week, but I'm so grateful to be doing this in her honor.  Getting people to read is amazing, helping to humanize Alzheimer patients is even better. 

Books are being handed out all over the world, but here's a look at the map of USA givers:

Pretty overwhelming, eh?  Thank you so much, World Book Night, for letting me be a part of this wonderful event!

Sundays In Bed With... Unbreakable

 Welcome to my Sundays In Bed With... Meme! The meme that dares to ask, what book has been in your bed this morning?  Come share what book you've spent time curled up reading in bed, or which book you wish you had time to read today!

This morning I'm reading:

Unbreakable (Unraveling #2) by Elizabeth Norris

Last year I read an loved Unraveling, which filled the hole that X-Files had left in my heart.  So far Unbreakable is proving to be a great 2nd novel, the action was kind of immediate and I still love how the beginning of each chapter is a countdown.  I'm hoping to read a good chunk of this today.  Many thanks to Wiley from Authors on the Web for sending me a copy!

I'm also picking up the books I'm giving out for World Book Night!  I'm very excited to take part in this, and I will post on Tuesday my plans and what book I chose to hand out. 

What are you reading (or wish you had time to read) this morning? Are you reading the book you thought you'd be reading, or has today found you with a surprise? Link up below!
