Because the hashtag is growing a little bit every week we thought it would be a good idea to let you know what the themes for the next five weeks will be. This table will be updated regularly.

30/04	Birds and Birdsong in Literature for International Dawn Chorus Day (01/05)
07/05	Literature from the Continent of Europe for Europe Day (09/05)
14/05	Famous Houses from Literature inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s birthday (13/05)
21/05	Augustan literature to celebrate Alexander Pope’s birthday
28/05	Spies in Literature to celebrate Ian Fleming’s birthday

Some Rules

• Sexism, racism, fascism and so on has no place in our community.
• Stay on topic.
• We love to see multiple tweets from the same accounts and we definitely encourage them but please do not flood the hashtag.
• We love gifs too but we think that the silly ones should remain in the gif database.
• The hashtag is about literature. The hosts are writers too and we understand how important it is to get your work out there but we would ask not to use #BookWormSat to promote your own work.
• And finally as J.M. Barrie would have said: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.

Hosts

The hashtag is hosed by Signe Maene and the brilliant Rachel Deering.

Hours

#BookWormSat retweets between 9am and 10pm GMT/BST. Tweetdeck is checked every hour for new tweets. Tweets after 10pm will be retweeted Sunday morning.

More Twitter fun

There is a hosted hashtag for nearly every day of the week where you can go for a dose of mythology, folklore and so much more.

• #MythologyMonday
• #FairyTaleTuesday
• #WyrdWednesday
• #FolkloreThursday and their website.
• #FaustianFriday and their permanent hashtag #OfDarkAndMacabre
• #SuperstitionSat and their website.
• #SwampSunday and their permanent hashtag #DontGoIntoTheWoods

Thank you!
