Three book-loving friends have launched a reading challenge to encourage people to stay at home, invest their time into something other than watching TV and support local bookshops and businesses, writes Mai Al Khatib-Camille.
Salma Mattar, 28, Maryam Al Ameer, 25, and Batool Fardan, 25, started the 16-day challenge on March 25 with the aim of inspiring people to stay self-quarantined and spend their free time in a creative way.
The Instagram bloggers, called the Booksteers, coined after Alexandre Dumas’ novel The Three Musketeers, teamed up with five bookshops to offer daily winners of the Booksteers at Home challenge with a variety of prizes including books or store vouchers.
The challenge ends tomorrow. Read the full story on GulfWeekly.com
