The Book Fairies


The book fairies are something I stumbled upon while researching unique marketing ideas for RRSMS. I had no idea what they were about, but it sounded cool. I did some research, because I wanted to find out what it was all about. This is what I found.


The idea of The Book Fairies is simple. There are people who like to read, and to share the books they’ve read. And guess what – everyone loves a nice surprise! These two things come together with The Book Fairies – giving people a chance to pop a sticker and some ribbon on a book, make it a little surprise gift for someone, and leave it somewhere to be discovered!

The Book Fairies can be anywhere, and could be anyone you know. The Book Fairies are not restricted by countries, transport or anything else. If you want to share books, you can get stickers and be a book fairy. If you are a book lover, keep your eye out for a book hiding near you!

The Book Fairies launched in March 2017, and we are very excited to be sharing books worldwide. We currently have almost 9,000 people sharing books in over 100 countries! We would love you to get involved, too, so why not get started and order your stickers here.

I am blown away by the amount of people who are willing to give up their books for someone else. The excitement we get, and book fairies around the world get, when they find a great hiding spot – and even better, when someone finds one of their books, is hard to beat. 🙂

Do you believe in book fairies?

Needless to say, it's something I wanted RRSMS to do. Weather is still crumby here, so we'll be waiting until Spring to do this, when there is less of a chance of the hidden books to get destroyed by the elements. I encourage everyone who loves reading to consider doing this in their area. They have stickers, bookmarks, and other neat things you can include with the book you hide, so more people can get involved and learn about The Book Fairies.

Drug Use in High School and College

Image
Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
