Get Reading! 2011

This week is the start of "Australia's largest annual celebration of books and reading". It is a month-long, nationwide campaign by the Australian Government and is developed through the Australia Council for the Arts. This campaign is to encourage more Australians to read books.

This years' Get Reading! campaign runs from Monday, 29th August to Thursday, 30th September. There are a range of events and promotions. One event is a FREE book given to those people who buy one of the books listed in the guide 50 Books You Can't Put Down. This is a free guide that is distributed by book retailers, libraries and online.

The guide features a wide range of genres, including adult fiction, adult non-fiction, young adult, children's fiction and picture books.
