The Reading Agency have created an awesome booklist to celebrate Book Lovers Day on the 9th of August. This list includes titles for toddlers, children, teens and young adults, all about the wonderfulness of words, brilliant bookshops and our love of libraries. There are also books that we think are just perfect for inspiring a life-long love of reading.
