Welcome to the Year of Reading

Can you believe we are at the beginning of February already? Maybe it is too late to say Happy New Year but all of us at Shearer’s are getting ready for what promises to be a really exciting year as 2012 just happens to be the National Year of Reading. The aim of this year is to help people discover and rediscover the magic of books and to share that with as many people as possible.

To celebrate all things word related, we have just started this blog and we would really love you to all get involved. The ‘Diary of a Reading Kid’ blog will include updates on exciting new books and also some of our old favourites, there will be loads of author events to get involved with, lots of your favourite authors will do guest blogs and we will also have prizes for you guys for posting great blogs about anything to do with the wonderful world of reading... so if you have read a great book recently or maybe one that was not so great, let us know, because it is your blog too!

Welcome to the National Year Of Reading and welcome to Shearer’s Diary of a Reading Kid blog - we can’t wait to hear from you.
