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.
I love this day, and I love when snail mail is full of...

I didn't think about the bookloft postcards working for today. Happy Sant Jordi's day!
ReplyDeleteI think they are perfect for today :)
DeleteI love they are full of spring, apart from books.
I think postcards of locations tend to show them in good weather :)
DeleteIt's also the day commonly celebrated as Shakespeare's birthday 🙂
ReplyDeleteAlthough nobody knows when he was born! :)
DeleteAny day, or every day, can be his birthday!
