  Happy NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY 2021! Happy Book Lovers Day! Although for some of us, that's every day. Whether you can curl up with a good book all day, can listen to a good book on your morning and evening commutes, plan to enjoy a good bedtime book with your kiddos, or plan to come home to a good book after a long day — celebrate National Book Lovers Day! 📚 I just found out it is National Book Lovers Day.
