Jason (ancatdubh2) | 912 comments Not sure if people are aware of this or not, but World Book Night is a program in the U.S. where, if selected, you get 20 'special' copies of a book of your choosing (from a predetermined list) for which you commit to giving away on a specified date in April.

Technically, you're supposed to have already read the book you intend to give away, but...who's gonna know the difference?

Jason (ancatdubh2) | 912 comments And here's the link in case anyone needs it: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2...

The link to apply is at the bottom of that info page. I just applied and requested Bobcat, After the Funeral, and The Dog Stars.

Last year I got Still Alice, which I'm finally just reading now.
