Today is Shakespeare’s birthday and international World Book Day, as well as World Book Night. World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of passionate volunteers gift books in their communities to share their love of reading. It began last year in the UK and is now being celebrated for the first time in Ireland, the US and Germany.

Last year, Northern Lights was one of the titles being given away as part of the million book giveaway that is World Book Night. This year, there isn’t a Pullman book on the list – but we’re giving you the chance to win one of two World Book Night books: Rebecca or Notes From A Small Island.

All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning one of these books is send us an e-mail at contest@bridgetothestars.net by midnight GMT on the 30th of April, with the subject line “World Book Night” telling us which book you’d like to receive. Anyone can enter, wherever you are in the world, but in the spirit of World Book Night, we ask that if you win you pass the book on to someone else to read. Good luck!
