World Book Night 2015

I've read a couple, really good ones. Of the ones I haven't read I have read a lot of the authors. Good choice I think. I've applied as a volunteer again. Fingers crossed.
I have read a couple too, but I have to admit I don't have a clue what World Book NIght is all about.
I thought World Book Night was cancelled/ended in 2014. I must be thinking of something else?
I haven't read many of the list, just Skellig (fantastic, usually seen as a children's book but I found it very rewarding), The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (quite enjoyed) and When God Was A Rabbit (okay). I guess if I was choosing one to give out then it would have to be Skellig.Would anyone recommend any of the others?

Well done Paul. Which book are you going to give out and who are you going to give books to?
Mod
Me too Paul. Yippee. The assassins apprentice is mine. Looking forward to giving it out. I tend to take them to work and leave them in out patients dept of hospital - mental health area. Loads of peeps pick them up = esp as its near the exit to hospital too.
Well done Paul and Pat! Sounds like fun.
Mod
Do you get to pick the book you distribute?
Mod
You have to put them in order of choice. Top 3 if I remember right. Not sure I do. Haha. This year they have given all one out of their top 3 anyway. It's a bit hit and miss now more popular. It's fun indeed.
