The Things You Can Read: The National Literacy Trust: 50 book-shaped benches across London

The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

Scattered across London The National Literacy Trust sponsored 50 book-shaped benches for the summer, "each dedicated to an iconic London-related author or character." If you want to know more about this click on over to The Guardian and read all about it. I'd love to see this in my own hometown. What are your thoughts? Who would you like to see represented on bench? Let us know here at The Things You Can Read!
