There is a list of twenty titles for World Book Night 2013. 400,000 books are being given out.
Can you list twenty different authors whose books you would like to see on World Book Night?
Any order will do. It does not matter if some of your choices are the same as mine.
This is for fun, and for those who are bored and have nothing to do.
My list is as follows.
1) Arthur High King of the Britons - Michael Morpurgo
2) Ruby Holler - Sharon Creech
3) Changeover - Margaret Mahy
4) Jayne Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
5) Wide Sargasso Sea - Jean Rhys
6) Tess of the D’urbervilles - Thomas Hardy
7) Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
8) Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
9) The Great Gatsby - F Scott-Fitzgerald
10) The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Louise, Victoria, this was not one of my better questions, lol.
I should have re-phrased the question for 2014. I should also have asked people to suggest what books they would like to see added in future World Book Nights, and not make a list of twenty. It was not easy to come up with a list of twenty, although I could have added more.
I think they did a good job with their choices this year. I wouldn't have added anything.
