World Book Night 2011 has just officially launched!

On Saturday, 5 March 2011, two days after World Book Day, with the full support of the Publishers Association, the Booksellers Association, the Independent Publishers Guild, the Reading Agency with libraries, World Book Day, the BBC and RTE, one million books will be given away by an army of passionate readers to members of the public across the UK and Ireland.

One of my favourite book bloggers, dovegreyreader scribbles was invited to be part of the Editorial Committee and has been keeping her readers advised on the preparations for this ground-breaking event. Apparently BBC2 will be turning over the evening to the event.

Twenty-five titles have been collectively selected and just have now been announced on the Official Web Site.
