Harper Broadcast Vol 47

Now, more than ever, books are essential to our education, entertainment and overall well-being. Show your support by posting a picture using a book to cover your mouth like a mask (as shown above). Don’t forget to tag us at @HarperCollinsIN, using #BooksAreEssential #ReadWithHCI #BooksMakeIndia.

This World Book Day got you up close and personal with your favourite authors in a day full of Instagram takeovers from lockdown. The day-long activity featured live sessions on various topics, including food, music, travel, poetry, nostalgia for a city, love, relationships plus reading recommendations, among others. The idea behind #LockdownDiariesWithHarper was to have our authors and their books reach wider and newer audiences who are increasingly looking out for interesting and digitally accessible mobile content. With books being a major source of information, entertainment and comfort during the lockdown, we endeavour to make it possible for readers and book lovers to stay home but still stay connected to their favourite books and authors.
