Each week, Ben Hopkinson looks back at what’s happened the past 7 days and what was trending on Twitter with the Maritime Hashtag Minute.
This week’s #MaritimeHashtagMinute was #WorldBookDay, which this year happened to be on Thursday. It’s the day parents aren’t keen on, as children get to wear a costume from a book to school. View the Tweets below:
It’s #WorldBookDay2023! A book can change your life. Reading is the best way to raise ourselves up and empower ourselves. Whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, comics or magazines, just keep reading. Education is power. Books are our ammunition. Signed a #lifelonglearning addict. pic.twitter.com/BxkQNbhD4C

Read books that you can't put down. Read books that help you escape. Read books that help you understand. Read books that make you laugh, or cry, or hold your heart with how much you feel seen. Don't listen to ANYONE who tells you to read 'better' books. #WorldBookDay2023

Bane of parents, #WorldBookDay2023 – in its 24th year – lets me plug a fave charity, @DoorstepLib, which brings books and readers to the front doors of inner city children.
