Let's Celebrate World Book Day!

This post was inspired by Hive account@dmcamera and her post here. She's suggested a great idea to celebrate #nationaldays because everyday there's something new to celebrate. And now I'm going to add #worlddays to this starting with today's, one of my very favorites!

Today is April 23rd which is also World Book Day! I'm a big reader and have always loved to read books ever since I was a kid. To celebrate with a photo I grabbed a few of my favorites over the last decade but being lazy I couldn't find every title I wanted to include.

Currently I'm reading Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson. Two other books from Erik Larson would be in the photo above but I couldn't find them in my collection: Isaac's Storm and The Devil in the White City. They're both definitely worth checking out.

I think Never Let Me Go might be the last actual book I bought at least 5 years ago now. I always thought I'd remain be a reader of solely physical books, but with the travel I started doing for work, the appeal of a Kindle and later an iPad Mini became too much to ignore. Now I can travel with as many books as I want held in a small device and I'll always have them at my fingertips. I'm surprised at how much I don't really miss having a physical book anymore.

So what say you, Steemit readers? What are you reading right now? And do you use an electronic reader or do you still appreciate holding physical paper book?
