How to Celebrate Paperback Book Day? 📚🥳🎉

Every July 30th

I've got so many paperbacks laying around the home that I will probably not live anywhere near long enough to read them all.

Paperback Book Day

And that's not counting all of the hardbacks I have to read yet, like the hardback copy of 'April Fool's Day' by Bryce Courtenay I'm still reading at the moment.

I usually pick up a book out of the pile of books laying around the house when "the universe" gives me a sign, or I have a strong "gut feeling" that I should read a particular book.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

Every July 30th

Funny thing is that I bought a cheesecake at my local supermarket today, when I saw that today was also 'National Cheesecake Day' and the checkout operator totaled my bill and said I was able to get a free Disney Ooshie if I wanted one, and I said, "why not?"

I thought to myself, that if I get the Spiderman Ooshie that I saw on the front of the packet, then I'll have to go and see the new Spiderman movie that started today, here in Australia.

And of course, I got one ... and with white eyes?

What are the odds?

You wouldn't read about it, would you?-)

I thought Ooshies had to have black eyes?

So, it looks like I'll be off to the cinema to see it this week sometime now:-)

I just hope it's not too cheesy ... like this joke;-)
