New Delhi: Every year on April 23 is celebrated as World Book Day or International Day of the Book. Also known as the World Book and Copyright Day, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) promotes reading, publishing, and copyright through this day. 

The day was first celebrated back in 1995. However, a similar event is observed in the UK and Ireland in the month of March. While it is extremely important to read as much as you can to be able to have a wider perspective, seldom we get time in our daily busy routine to sneak out some time for a book. 

But there are book lovers who manage to read and read, no matter what time of the day. We thought listing out a few popular celebrities who simply love to read and recommend reading to others too. Take a look and grab a book now:

I've had such an amazing time reading all the work in the non-fiction category for the @autherawards and discussing it with my co- jury members @yasser.usman and @manimugdhasharma. The quality and calibre of the work is truly incredible. Thank you @vinitanangia for giving me the opportunity to be part of this. It's great to see women authors from all genres being recognized and awarded. Congratulations to all the winners, I'm sure you'll had a great evening & #HappyWomensDay everyone.

The actress is a voracious reader and also successfully runs 'Sonali's Book Club' (SBC) which promotes reading and often engages in an interactive session too. The actress kept SBC running even while battling cancer and undergoing treatment in New York. Kudos to the fighter!

Television's famous face Shweta Tiwari is a book lover who has more often than not shared her love for reading. Much like Mouni, Shweta's Instagram too is a solid proof of how much of a bookworm she is.

Topping the list of nerdy things to do this Sunday-After listening to Bagchi’s workshop on writing last night-I’m taking books by my favourite authors and breaking down their sentences.

This B-Town actress turned author's tongue-in-cheek column with a newspaper daily has a separate fanbase. She loves to read, recommend and promote books which she likes. And we love Mrs Funnybones for her sparking sarcasm. 

Celebrate the love for books this special day!
