I live in Bangladesh. There is an annual book fair held in February every year honoring the martyrs of Bengali Language Movement of 1952.
I love this month because of that Book Fair. It actually rejuvenate the love of reading in our city.
Tomorrow I’ll visit the fair with my cousins. We saved money for a year just for this month. I’m going to buy Lolita and Catch-22 and some of Tagore’s book.
I don’t why I posted here. Just Excited for tomorrow.

I hope you and your cousins have a wonderful time! Where I am in the US we had book fairs in school when we were little and I used to look forward to them for months 😁
Book fairs are great. I remember ones that came to my school when I was a kid — I remember skipping recess to wander and look at books. In many ways, I still do that.
That sounds like an exciting time! And I have just spent some time reading about the Bengali Language Movement, which was new information to me, so thanks for that!
