January 7th 2020 - Old Rock Day


Celebrate Every Day With Books 

It seems like everyday has some new theme to celebrate so I thought it might be fun to see what kind of interesting books I can find (new, old, or coming soon) for an everyday holiday. In fact, most days have more than one holiday!




TODAY 

IS 

OLD ROCK DAY - JANUARY 7TH 2020

“The unofficial holiday encourages people to acknowledge, celebrate, and learn more about old rocks and fossils.” (from timeanddate.com)



Just so you know I have not read most of these but the ones I pick seem the most interesting. You can probably find tons more books for each holiday but I am only going to pick two books for one holiday a day.

Let me know what you think. Do any of them seem interesting to you? Is there another book you think would be a better choice?
