I know you're all desperate to get home and read the books you've bought to celebrate World Book Day, so consider this official permission to leave work early.
And if you haven't yet got a book, don't worry, there's still time! Just pop into your nearest indie bookshop on the way!
If you missed our event last night, we do have signed copies of The List of Suspicious Things and This Motherless Land on the website and in store now! - Michael
