23 April is Sant Jordi ('Saint George’s Day'), and also the UNESCO World Book and Copyright Day, when love and literature are celebrated massively throughout the Catalan countries and, more and more, in many other places around the world. The exchange of books and roses (#BooksAndRoses) is turning into a worldwide phenomenon.
It is also one of my favourite days of the year.

Feliç dia de Sant Jordi! Happy Sant Jordi's day!
ReplyDeleteThis year's books and roses from me to you are a little late (er, as almost usual?...). I have them almost ready-to-send but still have to put them into the mailbox.. Hopefully you'll receive it in time for next year's Sant Jordi's day!
My wish for today: enjoy!
By the way: 'copyright day' is new to me!? But I can understand it, it helps authors to keep on writing and publishers to keep on publishing books.
A envelope with a couple of book-related postcards arrived from you this week. But I hadn't the time to take pictures and add to this post. They will appear soon.
DeleteThanks :)
