Saturday October 5, 2013 is Star Wars Reads Day. Abrams, Chronicle Books, Dark Horse, Del Rey, DK, Quirk Books, Random House Audio, Scholastic, Titan Magazines, and Workman Publishing will all be joining together to help celebrate reading and there will be lots of events going on across the U.S. and even a few international ones.

In addition to that, Goodreads will be doing an online event that everyone can participate in. The online event will include authors Ryder Windham, Jason Fry, Chris Alexander, John Jackson Miller, Hans Jennsen, Rich Chasemore and Simon Beecroft. Plus Dark Horse Comics is getting in on the fun by offering up to 50% off on select Star Wars titles from October 4-6th (you can check out their offers here).
