Celebrate Drop Everything and Read Day

Drop Everything and Read Day is coming up on April 12^th! Get ready to celebrate!

D-E-A-R Day, which stands for Drop Everything and Read, is a national celebration of reading designed to remind families to make reading a priority in their lives.

It's celebrated every year on April 12th, which is the birthday of Beverly Clearly, the author of the Ramona books. A main feature of the Ramona books was the DEAR Time, a reading practice where everybody would drop everything and read for a while.

I'm giving you advance notice to celebrate Drop Everything and Read Day on April 12th by inviting your followers, your email subscribers, and your social network to celebrate the day with you and drop everything and read your book.

Or if you don't want them to read your book, then have them read my book 1001 Ways to Market Your Books.

Either way that's fine with me: Your book, or mine!
