"6 September is National Read-a-Book Day, a holiday where book lovers, readers, writers, and illustrators can come together to celebrate prose.
This holiday is wonderful because everyone can celebrate: children who are too young to read can curl up with parents during story time; teens can share their favorite YA tales. and adults can turn to their favorite chapters in romance novels or spooky Stephen King horrors."
