This weekend saw Star Wars Reads day, launched in 2012 this is an annual day focussed on reading and fun activities around Star Wars. Â I love that the release of the new film later this year is being used as a springboard to encourage people, particularly children, to read more! Â
In celebration of Star Wars Reads Day I’ve teamed up with the guys at Egmont to offer you the opportunity to win a selection of their Star Wars themed books – Ben is a huge fan of these already and they’d make great Christmas presents! Â (Watch our for our review in the next day or so!)

Gabby H here–I was a huge Star Wars geek when I was a kid–Han Solo was my first crush, and I have always loved that Princess Leia is a princess who stands her ground and isn't afraid to do anything (I think I remember actually standing up and clapping when she killed Jabba the Hut!). Mark's an even bigger Star Wars geek than I am, so we live and breathe it in our family–Sebastian can even name most of the vehicles, from playing Lego Star Wars! I am so getting the activity book for him for Christmas!!
