"What a shame to be poor", one reader of romantasy tells another as she considers a hardcover edition with a colored spine of Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros's bestselling saga. After a brief debate with her friend and several knowing glances, the book ended up in the bookseller's hands and the credit card did the rest. Transaction completed, happy reader. The scene took place in the space that one of the main bookstores has set up for Sant Jordi in Plaça d'Espanya in Palma. Like this one, hundreds, perhaps thousands, have been repeated this Book Day.

The promenade of Palmanova's Mar will host on April 18 and 19 a cultural weekend that consolidates a significant change in Calvià's festive model. The municipality will celebrate Book Day and, the following day, Saint George, patron saint of England, in an institutional effort to strengthen the link with British tourism.
