Celebrate Everyday With Book - Red Shoe Day - July 25th 2020




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!


Just so you know I have not read most of these but the ones I pick seem the most interesting and would like to read. 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?

Some of her friends who were in an Australian Lyme disease support group came up with the day. A friend asked what her favorite color had been, and was told, "Her favorite color was green unless it was shoes! She loved red shoes."
