Book Fairies of Pennsylvania

The Book Fairies are people around the world, sharing the joy of reading by leaving their books in public places to be found by the next reader.

Often leaving a note inside, and with our sticker on the outside, the books are then found, read, and then hidden again.

🎶 Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange? 🎶

It’s October and that means the spooky season is upon us! From 26th October to 5th November, The Book Fairies will be celebrating wonderfully spooky books around the world.

Join us! Find the scariest books on your bookshelf, dress them up, and hide them in your favourite spots around your city. OR if you cannot let them go, just and tell us why you love reading them.

Make sure to use the hashtag so we can see all your pictures! 👻

Do you have a favourite scary book? Will you be joining in? Let us know in the comments!

It’s June and the start of our season! We’d love for as many fairies to join in. Pop a Pride sticker on a book, maybe add a little rainbow ribbon, and hide it for a lucky finder 🌈

Another great way to celebrate is to share a pic of one of your favourite Pride related books, and maybe do a post!

This Thursday is World Book Night and The Book Fairies are celebrating this initiative, encouraging the act of reading in our busy day-to-day lives! While it’s usually aimed at the UK, we think that everyone around the world deserves to celebrate and take some time out of their day on Shakespeare’s birthday 💚

What is World Book Night?

From 7pm to 8pm EST this Thursday, people plan to dedicate their time to reading, sharing their activity under the hashtag . This can happen in many different ways, whether you’re reading alone, hosting a book club meeting, listening to an audiobook on the train, or reading to your children at bedtime. Just get reading! Many around the world celebrate World Book Day also on the 23rd of April 📚

How can I prepare?

Share the news with family and friends, let them know that, for one hour, there may be a little quiet between telephones as you snuggle up with a book. You can also choose your book ahead of time, and get excited about entering a new world, for however long you’d like!

As April 23rd is a certain Bard’s birthday, maybe pick up a play of his you’ve not read yet, or a collection of sonnets. The choice is yours!

We encourage you to take some time out of your evening to unwind and prioritise your TBR, whether it be for the full hour, or five minutes, show your bookshelf
some love!

A beautiful book drop at the Old Salem Market in Greensburg PA!

Will you be the lucky finder of this copy of Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian? (We love a Pennsylvania author!)

About the book:

A summer read about first love, feminism, and ice cream.

Summer in Sand Lake isn’t complete without a trip to Meade Creamery—the local ice cream stand founded in 1944 by Molly Meade who started making ice cream to cheer up her lovesick girlfriends while all the boys were away at war. Since then, the stand has been owned and managed exclusively by local girls, who inevitably become the best of friends.
