Thank You Emirates 24|7 readers for participating in our ‘Book Club’ initiative.

On April 23, World Book Day, Emirates 24|7 launched its Book Club as part of the #UAEReads initiative.

You, dear readers, were requested to write a short critique of the selected book or story. The five best entries are to be selected for valuable and exciting prizes such as Kindles.

The first winner of Book Club competition in #UAEreads initiative, for the story of Alladin, is Nouha El Assaad, Lebanese, working as a teacher in Sharjah American International School.

"I am very excited to be chosen as the winner and this is the first time I have been lucky. I love reading and was happy to review the book that was entered in your competition. I follow Emirates 24|7 news everyday especially on Facebook,", Said El Assaad.

The second winner of Book Club competition in #UAEreads initiative, for the story Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone, Shreya Trisal, a (15 year old), student.

She said, “I loved the initiative Emirates 24|7 offered to us, especially children now don’t like to read much… so it is a good way to encourage them to do so. I love reading and I read almost 15 books a year. I am really honored and happy that I won the prize”.

We started with the story of Alladin, and followed it up with Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. We received a tremendous number of entries, and we have selected two winners till now.

This month’s book is the book which entered the Guinness World Record for the most translated book by a living author, The Alchemist , written by Paulo Coelho, which is a book that sold more than 65 million copies, was translated into 67 languages, and became one of the best-selling books in the world.

According to Wikipedia, this book follows a young Andalusian shepherd in his journey to Egypt, after having a recurring dream of finding treasure there.

There are still many more prizes to be won, so hurry up [if you still haven’t] to join our Book Club.
