for your book reviews and all kind of other stuff about books & literature
At the blog of a colleague I saw she “wiki-ed” her birthday.
Cool idea, so I had to copy her, sorry Sophie; it was completely your idea.
Here are some literary connections to my birthday:
events:
1947 – The Diary of Anne Frank is published.
2009 – Canadian author Alice Munro collects the third Man Booker International Prize at a ceremony at Trinity College Dublin.
