Hide a Book Day: Highlights from Around the World

Posted by Hayley on September 18, 2017


Hide a Book Day is finally here! As part of our Ten-Year Anniversary Celebration, Goodreads is teaming up with The Book Fairies to hide books for people to find, read, and pass on.


Once you hide your book, take a picture and share it with us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using the hashtags #goodreadsturns10, #hideabookday, and #ibelieveinbookfairies—and don't forget to let us know where you are. From the United States to Thailand, from South Africa to Australia, help us spread Hide a Book Day all over the world! Check out where your fellow Goodreads members and Book Fairies have hidden books so far:
