Book Lovers’ Day Book Lovers Day is a great day to celebrate. Just grab an interesting book, find a quiet, cozy place, and crack open the cover. Celebrating Book Lovers Day in August is pleasurable on the deck, under a shady tree, poolside, or in a cozy hammock. If you fall asleep while reading, that’s okay. It’s all part of the relaxing benefits of being a book lover.

Lazy Day Celebration Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer! Lazy Day is your chance to goof off, and definitely not work. And, it definitely comes at a good time.

Let’s start the day with bacon and eggs. Go ahead, take a couple extra strips.

For lunch, its definitely a BLT or Turkey Club with Bacon sandwich. And, don’t forget a cup of potato and bacon soup. Dinner can be a wide range of entrees! Everything from a bacon cheeseburger to a bacon wrapped steak is fair game. Your salad should be topped with bacon bits, as well as your loaded baked potato.

There, that’s an international day of bacon well celebrated.
